Ingredients

Ingredients List

  • 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


Directions

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

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

  3. Beat eggs in a separate bowl for 10 seconds.

  4. Working one at a time, dip salmon into beaten eggs to coat completely. Dredge salmon in cornmeal mixture to cover completely. Shake off excess.

  5. 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.
