1 teaspoon Turmeric powder
1 teaspoon coriander powder
A pinch of Salt

First of all cut the salmon fish into 8 pieces and wash them well. Then strain the water to dry the fish. You can use absorbent paper to dry out the additional water from the salmon darnes. Place them in a bowl and add turmeric and coriander powder and sprinkle them with salt. Rub the spice mix all over the salmon darnes to ensure that they are properly covered with the mixture.
Heat the oil in a frying pan and add the pieces of fish. Flip them after 2 minutes. Fry the fishes in medium heat. When it becomes golden brown keep them aside in a plate.
