Using a knife, scrape off the scales from the skin of the fish fillets. Then rinse off the scales in the sink. Place on a plate and pat dry with paper towels.

Sprinkle salt and ground turmeric all over the flesh side of the salmon fillets. Using a pair of tongs, turn and rub the fillets on the plate to ensure they are evenly coated with salt and ground turmeric.

Heat vegetable oil in a non stick fry pan. When oil is hot, transfer the salmon fillets, flesh side down into the pan. Allow them to fry for 3 minutes.

Flip the salmon fillets and fry skin side down for another 3 minutes.

Turn fillets on their sides and fry for 1 minute. Turn onto the other side and fry for another minute.

Remove from pan and serve immediately.
