Method

  • 1.
    Place salmon in a bowl with 2 tablespoons soy sauce and toss to combine, then set aside to marinate while you prepare the batter.
  • 2.
    Place the flour in a bowl. Whisk in the beer and stir in the chilli flakes and chopped coriander. Stand for 10 minutes.
  • 3.
    In a small separate bowl, combine the sesame seeds with 1 teaspoon salt. Set aside.
  • 4.
    Half-fill a large saucepan with sunflower oil and heat to 190°C (if you don't have a kitchen thermometer, a cube of bread will turn golden in 30 seconds when the oil is hot enough).
  • 5.
    Pat the salmon dry on paper towel. In batches, dip the salmon in the batter, allowing excess to drip back into bowl, and deep-fry for 1-2 minutes until crisp and golden. Remove with a slotted spoon and drain on paper towel. Keep warm.
  • 6.
    Deep-fry the chips according to the packet instructions. Drain on paper towel, then toss with the sesame salt.
  • 7.
    Mix vinegar and remaining 2 tablespoons soy sauce in a small bowl. Serve fish and chips with dipping sauce and extra coriander.
