Directions

  1. Season the salmon with salt, pepper, and a little sugar, and let it marinate for 10 minutes.
  2. Heat the oil and fry the salmon pieces until they are golden brown. Set aside.
  3. For the sauce, sauté the garlic until it becomes fragrant, then add the ginger.
  4. Add the onion, bell pepper, and tomato, and sauté them just until they are slightly softened.
  5. Add the lime juice, the dissolved cornstarch, salt, and sugar: the sauce should thicken and become slightly sweet and sour. Then, add the celery.
