Breaded Pan-Fried Salmon

I love this recipe, it is absolutely delici-oso! These breaded pan-fried salmon fillets are best served with steamed rice and spring mix salad, or broccoli florets and mashed potatoes, or on a toasted roll for a sandwich.

Ingredients

• 3 eggs
• ½ cup all-purpose flour
• 1 ½ cups cornmeal
• ½ teaspoon ground white pepper
• 1 tablespoon seasoned salt
• 1 tablespoon kosher salt
• ⅓ cup vegetable oil for frying
• ½ tablespoon lemon pepper
• 6 salmon fillets, or to taste

Recipe Instructions

Step 1

Heat oil to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C) in a cast iron skillet over medium heat.

Step 2

Whisk cornmeal, flour, seasoned salt, lemon pepper, kosher salt, and white pepper together in a medium bowl.

Step 3

Crack eggs into a separate bowl; beat about 10 seconds. Dip salmon fillet into the eggs and coat completely. Dredge salmon in the cornmeal mixture to cover completely. Shake off excess.

Step 4

Lower salmon carefully into the hot oil in batches of 2 or 3. Fry, flipping halfway, until a golden brown crust forms, 8 to 10 minutes. Transfer to a plate lined with 3 to 4 sheets of paper towels to drain. Repeat with remaining salmon.
