Spiced Fried Salmon with Gram Flour Marinade

(Besan-coated Salmon with Indian Spices)

# Ingredients:

2 salmon fillets (skin-on or skinless)

3 tbsp gram flour (besan)

1 tbsp ginger-garlic paste

1 tsp red chili powder (adjust to taste)

1 tsp turmeric powder

1 tsp coriander powder

1 tsp garam masala

1 tsp cumin powder

1 tbsp lemon juice

2 tbsp chopped fresh coriander (cilantro)

Salt to taste

Oil for deep frying (mustard oil adds extra flavor, but any neutral oil works)

# Instructions:

1. Marinate the Salmon:

In a bowl, mix gram flour, ginger-garlic paste, red chili powder, turmeric, coriander powder, garam masala, cumin powder, lemon juice, chopped coriander, and salt.

Add a little water (1-2 tbsp) to make a thick, smooth paste.

Coat the salmon fillets evenly with the marinade and let them sit for 20-30 minutes (or longer for deeper flavor).

2. Deep Frying:

Heat oil in a deep pan (enough to submerge the fillets) over medium heat (170-180°C / 350°F).

Gently slide the marinated salmon into the hot oil.

Fry for 3-4 minutes per side until golden brown and crispy. Avoid overcooking to keep the fish tender.

Drain on a paper towel.
