My son loves Salmon fish, in fact it is the only fish that he would eat. So in an attempt to get him to eat fish without telling him or forcing him to eat fish, I decided to deep fry this slim slab of salmon so that he would eat fish.
It’s really a very easy recipe, and basically I deep fried the fish in sesame seed oil and garnished it with julienned silvers of young ginger.

Recipe
Ingredients
1 slab of Salmon (as Salmon is really expensive, I usually slice them into thin slices so that we can have it throughout the week)
4 tablespoons of Sesame Seed Oil (I use Chee Seng Sesame Seed Oil [NTUC] for my cooking as it has a very nice flavour to it)
2 inches of Young Ginger (you can also use any kind of ginger, but young ginger is always best)
Method
- Julienne the young ginger into strips and then fry it up in the sesame seed oil until brown and fragrant.
- In the same oil, add more if you need, otherwise, you can fry the Salmon fish, skin down first over a slow heat, so that you can get a nice crispy skin, and the salmon fish doesn’t harden too fast.
- Turn the salmon fish over on all sides to fry until it is slightly brown. Salmon fish tends to cook easily, so you don’t want to have too high heat when frying it.
- Serve simply, garnish with the ginger. No need for additional soya sauce if you don’t want to, but if you like, then drizzle a little Lee Kum Kee Premium Light Soya Sauce [NTUC] for taste.
Bon Appetit!
