Choose between sweet or spicy flavor for dipping crunchy salmon fillets.
Ingredients:
  • 150ml sparkling mineral water, chilled
  • 115g plain flour
  • 55g cornflour
  • 20.00 ml finely sliced makrut lime leaf (see Notes)
  • Sunflower oil, for deep-frying
  • 500g skinless salmon fillet, cut into 1cm strips
  • Baby Asian greens, to garnish (optional)
  • 14.40 gm honey
  • 6.00 gm toasted sesame seeds
  • Juice of 1 lime
  • 20.00 ml sesame oil
  • 21.00 gm soy sauce
  • 2 tsp grated ginger
  • 2 spring onions, finely chopped
  • 20.00 ml chopped coriander leaves
  • 2 red chillies, halved, seeds removed
  • 1 garlic clove
  • 2 coriander roots
  • 2cm piece grated ginger
  • 30g palm sugar, grated (see Notes)
  • 125ml lime juice
  • 24.40 gm fish sauce
Instructions:
  • Combine all the ingredients in a bowl to create the honey and soy sauce mixture. Set aside.
  • Create a flavorful chili sauce by crushing chili, garlic, coriander, and ginger in a mortar and pestle. Mix in palm sugar, lime juice, and fish sauce, then set aside.
  • In a bowl, gently whisk together eggs and mineral water. Add flours and use chopsticks to mix until just combined - the batter should be slightly lumpy. Gently fold in makrut lime.
  • Fill a deep-fryer or large heavy-based saucepan halfway with oil and heat to 190°C. (To check if the oil is ready, fry a cube of bread - it should turn golden in 30 seconds.) Coat salmon in batter and fry in batches for 2-3 minutes until crispy and golden. Pat dry on paper towel.
  • Transfer the dish to a serving platter and season lightly with salt. Decorate with baby Asian greens, if desired, and serve alongside your favorite dipping sauces.
