To make crispy fried salmon skin salad, prepare ingredients including 300g of fresh salmon skin; 100g of lettuce; 100g of cherry tomatoes; 150g of cucumbers; 1/2 small onion; cilantro; mint; 50g of crispy frying powder; cooking oil; salt, pepper, chili powder... The salad dressing will have olive oil; rice vinegar; sugar soup; delicious fish sauce and minced garlic cloves and a little chili peppercorns (if you want spicy).
The ingredient pre-processing step is quite important to ensure the salad has a characteristic delicious taste. First, the salmon skin when purchased needs to be washed thoroughly under cold tap water, then use a knife to scrape off all remaining scales (if any).
Next, housewives should use clean napkins or towels to completely pat the fish skin dry. This is the secret to help the fried fish skin become crispy and not greasy. Then, cut the fish skin into squares or long strands that fit.
Lettuce, cherry tomatoes, cucumbers and other herbs need to be washed, soaked in diluted salt water for about 10-15 minutes and then taken out to drain. Cut lettuce into bite-sized pieces, halve cherry tomatoes, thinly sliced or shredded cucumbers. Slice onions thinly and soak in a bowl of iced water for about 15 minutes to reduce pungency; Finely chop herbs.
As soon as the ingredients are pre-processed, the salmon skin also needs to be lightly marinated with a little salt and pepper to enhance the flavor. After that, housewives should coat each piece of fish skin evenly through a layer of crispy frying flour to ensure that the flour sticks evenly all over the surface so that it will create crispness and deliciousness when frying.
Put a pan on the stove, add enough cooking oil to fry the fish skin. When the oil is hot enough, continue to add each piece of fish skin that has been coated with flour and fry until golden brown and crispy, then take it out. Arrange the fried fish skin on oil-absorbing paper to remove excess oil, helping the dish not to be greasy.
While waiting for the fish skin to cool down, housewives can proceed to mix salad dressing. Put olive oil, rice vinegar, sugar, fish sauce, minced garlic and minced chili into a small bowl. Use chopsticks or spoons to stir well until the sugar dissolves completely, season to taste for the family with enough harmonious sour, spicy, salty, and sweet flavors.
To complete the crispy fried salmon skin salad, housewives put the pre-processed vegetables in a large bowl before adding the crispy fried salmon skin. Slowly drizzle the mixed salad dressing on top and stir the ingredients together.
Arranging the crispy fried salmon skin salad on a plate, housewives can sprinkle a little roasted sesame or crushed roasted peanuts on top to enhance the flavor.
Salad should be served immediately when the salmon skin is still hot and crispy to fully feel the deliciousness and attractive crispness. Crispy fried salmon skin salad is not only a great appetizer but can also be eaten with rice or other main dishes to help relieve boredom effectively.
