Salmon Manchurian is a delicious Indo-Chinese dish that combines tender pieces of salmon with a tangy and savory Manchurian sauce. The salmon is typically marinated in a mixture of spices and then set it in the oven until it gets crispy. The Manchurian sauce is made with ingredients like garlic, ginger, soy sauce, and tomato ketchup, creating a flavorful and slightly sweet glaze. It offers a delightful fusion of flavors, with the richness of salmon complemented by the bold flavors of the sauce.
How to make SALMON MANCHURIAN :
Start by marinating the salmon and letting it rest until it absorbs all the flavors, ensuring it’s well-coated. Dust the salmon with all-purpose flour and place it on an oven-safe baking tray coated with oil. Allow the salmon to cook in the oven until it turns crispy, remembering to flip it halfway through to ensure even crispiness.
While the salmon is cooking, begin preparing the Manchurian sauce by combining ginger, garlic, and all the flavorful sauces. Let the sauce thicken slightly, then add the crispy salmon and turn off the flame. Coat the salmon evenly with the sauce, and it’s all ready to be served.
