Easy Fried Salmon Recipes

Steps:

• Melt butter in a large, heavy skillet over medium heat. Pour in lemon juice and swirl the skillet to mix melted butter and lemon juice.
• Place salmon fillets, flesh side down, in the pan and cook until browned, about 3 minutes. Spoon lemon butter over the top of the fillets as they cook. Turn fillets over with a spatula and cook for an additional 1 or 2 minutes, depending on the thickness of the fillets. Season with salt and pepper.

Steps:

• Heat oil in a nonstick skillet.
• Season salmon with salt and pepper.
• Lay the salmon on the skillet and watch the color rise to about two-thirds of the way up the salmon. Flip the salmon once and cook until done to taste, roughly 2-4 minutes longer.
• Serve with lemon and thyme (optional).
• Enjoy!

Steps:

• Heat oil to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C) in a cast iron skillet over medium heat.
• Whisk cornmeal, flour, seasoned salt, lemon pepper, kosher salt, and white pepper together in a medium bowl.
• 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.
• 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.

Steps:

• Stir together the garlic powder, basil, and salt in a small bowl; rub in equal amounts onto the salmon fillets.
• Melt the butter in a skillet over medium heat; cook the salmon in the butter until browned and flaky, about 5 minutes per side. Serve each piece of salmon with a lemon wedge.

Steps:

• Bring the salmon to room temperature 10 minutes before cooking.
• Warm a large nonstick skillet with oil over medium-low heat. Season the fish with salt and pepper. Raise the heat to medium-high. Place the salmon, skin-side up in the pan. Cook until golden brown on 1 side, about 4 minutes. Turn the fish over with a spatula, and cook until it feels firm to the touch and the skin is crisp if desired, about 3 minutes more.
• The skin can be served or removed easily with a knife or spoon.
• Transfer to a plate and serve as desired.

Steps:

• Season salmon with salt and black pepper.
• Heat olive oil in a nonstick skillet over medium-low heat. Place salmon skin-side up in the skillet.
• Cook until golden brown, about 4 minutes. Turn with a spatula and cook until salmon feels firm to the touch and skin is crisp, about 3 minutes more.

Steps:

• Generously season the salmon fillets with salt and pepper. Put the oil and butter in a non-stick frying pan over a medium heat, swirling around the pan until melted and foaming, then turn up the heat. Once the butter starts bubbling, add the salmon fillets to the pan, skin-side-down, and fry for 3 mins until crisp. Flip the fillets over, lower the heat and cook for 2 mins more, then drizzle with the lemon juice. Transfer the salmon to a plate and baste with any of the buttery juices left in the pan.

Steps:

• Sprinkle salmon with a moderate to generous amount of salt. Pepper as desired.
• Lightly coat salmon in flour on a plate.
• Place salmon in heated skillet over medium heat coated with roughly equal parts oil and butter (slightly more butter). It should start cooking at a slow to medium sizzle.
• Cover with a lid and cook until lightly browned, 4-5 minutes.
• Turn salmon, put lid back on, and reduce heat slightly. Cook another 5-7 minutes or until done.
• Can remain in pan with lid on and heat off for a little while until ready to serve.

Steps:

• Rinse the salmon fillets and pat dry thoroughly with paper towels; season with sea salt.
• Heat the oil in a skillet over medium-high heat.
• Gently lay the salmon into the hot oil with the skin side facing up and cook until the the flesh side is golden brown, 5 to 7 minutes; turn and continue cooking until the skin side is slightly browned, about 5 minutes more. Remove the salmon from the skillet, allowing any oil to drain from the fish back into the pan.
• Remove the skin from the salmon fillets; fry the skin in the oil remaining in the skillet until crispy, 2 to 3 minutes. Serve the crispy skin with the salmon.

Steps:

• Mix salmon, onion, and egg together in a bowl; stir in flour. Stir baking powder and 2 tablespoons reserved salmon liquid together in a separate bowl; stir into salmon mixture until mixture holds together when shaped. Add more flour if mixture is too soft. Add more reserved salmon liquid if mixture is too firm. Shape salmon mixture into small patties.
• Heat shortening in a skillet over medium heat.
• Spread cornmeal into a shallow bowl and press patties into cornmeal until evenly coated on both sides.
• Fry patties in the hot shortening until golden brown, about 5 minutes per side. Transfer patties to a paper towel-lined plate using a slotted spoon.
