Ingredients

🥣 3 cups All-purpose flour
🥄 3 heaping teaspoons Baking powder BECEL
🧂 A pinch of Salt
💧 Hot water, added gradually until desired consistency
🐟 4 Salmon fillets, cut into 1-2 inch chunks
🌶️ Black Pepper
🧂 Season Salt KIRKLAND SIGNATURE
🌿 Cooking oil, for deep frying

Instructions

1- Heat Oil:

• Place the deep frying pot on the MAYTAG electric range and fill it with cooking oil to a suitable depth for deep frying. Heat the oil on medium until hot.
• Test by dropping a small amount of batter in; it should brown quickly but not instantly.

2- Prepare Batter:

• In a large stainless steel mixing bowl, combine the flour and BECEL baking powder.
• Add a pinch of salt.

3- Mix Batter:

• Create a well in the center of your dry mixture.
• Slowly add hot water, stirring continuously with a large spoon, until the batter is smooth and thick, but still pourable.

4- Season Batter:

• Add black pepper and KIRKLAND SIGNATURE season salt to taste.
• Mix to incorporate the spices evenly.

5- Prepare Salmon:

• Using a chef's knife on the cutting board, cut the salmon fillets into 1-2 inch chunks.

6- Coat Salmon:

• Put the salmon chunks into the batter, and use the spatula to ensure each piece is thoroughly coated.

7- Deep Fry Salmon Bites:

• With a serving spoon, carefully drop batter-coated salmon pieces into the hot oil, allowing excess batter to drip off first.

8- Cook in Batches:

• Fry in small batches to prevent oil temperature from dropping.
• Cook the bites until golden brown and fully cooked, approximately 3-5 minutes.

9- Drain Excess Oil:

• Remove with tongs, shaking off excess oil, and place on a paper towel-lined draining tray.

10- Repeat and Serve:
- Continue until all pieces are fried. Serve hot on a small plate.
