Notes :
- Choose salmon fillet instead of salmon streak for small kids as it contains no or less bones.
- Make sure to cook the fish thoroughly, debone and mince it thoroughly before feeding small babies in order to avoid choking
- Instead of shallow fry, you can deep fry the fish pieces in oil too.
- You can opt for any fish variety that suits to make this fry instead of salmon.
- Marination time is important for the spice powders to get attached to the fish pieces. So don’t skip it.
- Reduce the spices according to your preference.
- Fry the fish pieces in hot oil so that the marinade will not leave the fish.
