This is a simple salmon fry recipe but flavorful mainly because of coconut oil and coconut. Spicy and Authentic.
The flavor on this recipe mainly comes from coconut oil and a good chili powder. Please try using fresh ginger and garlic rather than using ginger garlic paste. It makes a lot of difference. Try marinating at least for thirty minutes. Even overnight is good. The flavors get in. Also massage the Salmon with the marination. Don’t worry about getting your hands messy. Worth the mess!
