Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pieces Salmon fillets
- 1 cup Gluten-free all-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon Cornstarch
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 1 teaspoon Baking powder
- 1 cup Ice-cold sparkling water
- 4 cups Vegetable oil
- 0.5 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 0.25 teaspoon Ground black pepper
Instructions
Cut each salmon fillet into 1-inch wide strips. Ensure all pieces are approximately the same size for even cooking.
In a medium bowl, mix the gluten-free all-purpose flour, cornstarch, salt, baking powder, garlic powder, and ground black pepper.
Gradually add the ice-cold sparkling water to the flour mixture, stirring gently to form a smooth, batter-like consistency. Be careful not to overmix to keep the batter light.
Heat the vegetable oil in a deep pan or wok over medium-high heat to 350°F (175°C). It's crucial to maintain this temperature for perfectly crispy tempura.
Dip each salmon strip into the batter, ensuring it's fully coated.
Carefully place the battered salmon strips into the hot oil, frying for 3-4 minutes or until they are golden brown and crispy. Do not overcrowd the pan; cook in batches if necessary.
Use a slotted spoon to transfer the cooked salmon onto a plate lined with paper towels to absorb excess oil.
Serve immediately with your choice of dipping sauce and enjoy this gluten-free delight!
