Crispy Fried Fish Skin

We love to eat crispy food, especially salmon skin, and usually it involves in frying the food with lots of oil and it's quite unhealthy. I have tried using the oven to bake the salmon skin before. However, it turned out that the salmon skin became soggy and soaked with it's own omega 3 oil!

Fret no more! We have found an easy way to make this and we managed to make it crispy in less than 20 minutes. All of us love this dish so much and it's hassle free!

Crispy Fried Salmon Skin

Ingredients

Salmon Skin

Salt

Steps

1. Wash the salmon fish skin.

2. Dry them with kitchen towel.

3. Season with some salt.

4. Use Philips Air Fryer, set 160C for 5 minutes. Stir occasionally to make sure the skin is evenly cooked. 

5. Set 200C for 10 minutes to make the skin crispy!

6. Serve.

Notes

1. Do not coat the salmon skin with oil as the skin excretes lots of oil during air frying.

2. Place aluminum foil below the air fryer to collect the oil, and for easy washing.

3. How to get salmon skin? An easy way is to go to the wet market, ask the fish monger for salmon fish skin and they can prepare it for you.

Eggs

Eggs are indeed a staple in our daily lives, unless you are a vegan! And it's best to get free range eggs for yourself. The hens are much happier and they roam around freely!

The price is slightly much more expensive than normal ones. And there are some distinct differences!

For example, they are sold at 6 eggs for $3.00. Those caged hen eggs are sold for 10 for $2.50.

Ingredients
1/2 cup brown rice flour
1/2 cup white flour
3 tbsp sugar
1 egg ( separate the yolk and egg white)
1 cup of cold milk
1 tbsp cooking oil

Steps
1. Whisk the flour together, and add sugar, egg yolk, cooking oil and cold milk together. Mix well.
2. Use a hand held mixer to fluff up the egg white.
3. Mix well and the pancake batter is ready to go!
4. Heat up oil and add a tablespoon of batter into the oil. You can do about six at a time.
5. Flip the mini pancakes after you feel it's okay.
6. You may add cheese on the pancakes as the filling in the pancake burgers! Enjoy!

I use a table spoon to make sure the pancakes are consistently small.

You may add more to the pan.

Fillers

You can get creative with the fillers that you want to have. Here are some suggestions:

1. Cheese

2. Maple syrup

3. Vegetables

4. Fruits

5. Chocolate Spread

Notes

1. Why do I add cold milk?

I have tried normal temperature milk before and it turned out that the pancakes doesn't have the crispy feeling. Cold milk always has the crisp to the pancakes!

2. Why do I add brown wheat rice flour?

It is much healthier. However, I have tried using 100% of it, but the pancakes turned out to be powdery! Hence I have decided the comfortable mix is 50-50.
