Ingredients
- 1 lb salmon (450 grams or 16 ounces)
- ½ c cornstarch (aka cornflour)
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- ½ teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon salt
- ½ teaspoon ground black pepper
- ⅓ c vegetable oil
Instructions
- In a small bowl, whisk together cornstarch, baking powder, salt, pepper and garlic. Set aside.
- Cut salmon into ¾" boneless cubes and place in a medium or large bowl.Preheat a heavy-bottomed frying pan or large skillet over high heat.
- Pour cornstarch mixture over salmon cubes and gently toss to coat.
- Add vegetable oil to the pan. Once it's at the smoking point, add salmon cubes in a single layer. Keep space between the salmon pieces and don't overlap. Cook in 2 separate batches if needed.
- Once the first side is golden brown, flip the marinated salmon cubes. Continue to flip until each side is crispy, approximately 5 minutes total. Turn the heat off and tip pan to one side and slide a metal pot lid under. Using the spatula, slide the crispy salmon bites to the high side of the pan so any excess oil can drain off for 1-2 minutes.
- Remove from pan with a slotted spatula and serve cooked salmon bites immediately or place on a wire cooling rack to keep them crispy until serving.

Notes
- Use the best salmon or fish you can. It is the star of the dish and fresh tasting seafood is always the best.
