Amritsari Fish with Salmon

Amritsari Fish, a delicacy originated from Amritsar, Punjab is also a popular street food sold in the streets corner of Amritsar. I have used Salmon in this dish , you can use any white fleshed fish instead. This is an easy fried fish dish cooked in minutes with the readily available ingredients from your kitchen. Serve this as an appetizer for your cocktail party or side dish for your main course.  I prepared this dish last weekend for a Potluck party and it was an instant HIT!!!!
