Tips & Substitutions
For a spicier kick, consider adding more dried Japanese chiles or fresh chili peppers to the marinade. If you don't have salad oil, canola or vegetable oil work well as substitutes. You can also use white fish instead of salmon for a lighter option. Make sure to coat the salmon lightly with cornstarch to achieve a crispier texture while frying.
