This fried salmon is absolutely delicioso; I love this recipe! 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
- ⅓ cup vegetable oil for frying
- 1 ½ cups cornmeal
- ½ cup all-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon seasoned salt
- 1 tablespoon kosher salt
- ½ tablespoon lemon pepper
- ½ teaspoon ground white pepper
- 3 large eggs
- 6 salmon fillets
Steps
- Heat oil in a cast iron skillet to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
- Whisk together cornmeal, flour, seasoned salt, kosher salt, lemon pepper, and white pepper in a medium bowl.
- Beat eggs in a separate bowl for 10 seconds.
- Working one at a time, dip salmon into beaten eggs to coat completely. Dredge salmon in cornmeal mixture to cover completely. Shake off excess.
- Working in batches, fry salmon in hot oil, flipping halfway, until a golden brown crust forms, 8 to 10 minutes. Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate to drain.
