This recipe is our camp favorite and every year we have a fish fry where the fishermen cook dinner and give our masterful camp cook a bit of a break. The secret is the dry yellow curry powder in the dredging flour.
1/2 cup FLOUR
1/4 tsp BLACK PEPPER
1/4 tsp GARLIC POWDER
1/2 tsp BAKING POWDER
3/4 tsp SALT
1 tsp YELLOW CURRY powder
1 raw EGG
1 medium SALMON FILLET (1-1.5 pounds)
1. SKIN THE SALMON
Cut the skin off one medium-sized fillet, and portion into about 6-8 pieces then pat dry and set aside.
2. COMBINE THE INGREDIENTS
Combine all dry ingredients in a medium bowl. Beat the egg in another medium bowl. Set a cookie sheet or tinfoil on the counter and both bowls.
3. HEAT THE OIL
Using a high-sided pot or pan heat 1/2 inch of oil until it shimmers or spits when you put a drop of water in.
4. COAT THE FISH
Dredge each piece of fish in the flour mixture, then the egg, then again in the flour, and place on the cookie sheet. Coat all the pieces of fish, and once done you can even dust them a third time with the four mixture.
5. FRY THE FISH
Fry each piece for 2-3 minutes per side. When done, remove from pan and let rest on a paper towel or brown grocery bag to absorb the oil. Serve with your favorite tartar sauce and a large salad. (Tips: Try shaking the flour bowl around to coat the pieces so as not to disturb the breading.)
