EZCR #10 - CHINESE STYLE PAN FRIED SALMON BLOCKS

I like cooking salmon blocks or fillets especially when using a non-stick wok or pan to fry them. It cooks nicely with little or no oil and tastes good with some butter for frying.
This is a simple and easy salmon dish to prepare. The sauce blends well with the browned salmon pieces. The sauce is sourish, savoury sweet with the aroma of ginger and garlic.
Ingredients
[serves 3]
2 – 3 pieces salmon blocks [depends on the size]
1 big onion – peeled and sliced
Some red capsicum or red chilli – cut strips
Some spring onions – cut 1inch lengths
Sauce Ingredients [combine]
2 tbsp Hoisin sauce
1 tbsp light soy sauce
1 tsp each of sugar, sesame oil and lime juice
Dash of pepper
2 cloves garlic – grated
½ inch ginger – grated 
  1. Combine the sauce ingredients in a bowl. Taste to adjust seasoning.
  2. Heat up wok with a dollop of butter to pan fry salmon blocks until cooked and brown on both sides. Dish up on serving platter.
  3. Using the same wok, sauté onions and chilli for a few seconds. Pour in the sauce ingredients, bring it to a boil until aromatic.
  4. Lastly add in the spring onions. Pour cooked sauce over fried salmon.
  5. Serve immediately.

Hi Phong Hong, you must get over the 'scared' feeling when comes to frying fish like I did. With salmons blocks and fish fillets, it is not too bad. I learned from my neighbour about frying fish and not greasing the kitchen. That is by covering the wok/pan with clean greased proof or white paper when frying fish. It works-lah, I don't get greasy kitchen.
