I have not pan-fry salmon for ages. I always took the least time consuming method by baking it in the oven. After a while, I guess I miss the crispy crust of pan-frying salmon. This salmon dish is super duper easy especially if you already have the McCormick Lemon & Pepper seasoning salt in your cupboard. I saw this seasoning in my pantry and realized that I hardly used this seasoning. So, I took it out to be used in my salmon. The salmon fillets that I bought was without skin. So, in order to get the crispy crust that I was looking for, I patted both sides of my salmon with cornstarch. And this got the job done. I served it up with my Asian style stir-fried broccoli. Or you can do my American style microwave butter broccoli, even easier.
Ingredients:
3 Salmon fillets, I cut it into smaller pieces so that it's easier to pan-fry in my wok
McCormick Lemon & Pepper seasoning salt to taste
2-3 Tbsp. Cornstarch, use as needed
Oil for pan-fryingMethod:
1. Season both sides of salmon fillet with lemon & pepper seasoning salt. Pat both side with cornstarch.
2. Heat up your wok or frying pan. Add a little oil. When hot, slowly add in the salmon.

Oh, I love the crust produced by using cornstarch...yum! And lemon pepper is a perfect seasoning for fish...simple and delicious!
Mmmm! Sounds fabulous. Good tip with the cornstarch too. I made fish tacos last night and I really could have used that 'crisp' factor :)
I usually bake salmon if I just want to set it and forget it. However, when I have a little more time, I usually prefer to go the pan searing route myself. I love a good pan seared salmon! Your lemon pepper salmon looks delicious :) I'd eat it with a side of salad.
The old corn flour on the skin trick always works. I usually let it sear skin side down for almost 80% of cooking time and the result is always a very crispy and beautiful skin!
oh, this must be very tasty!
you know what? after steaming/baking salmon for a while, i recently pan-fried it too till the skin got really crispy and it was very good!
Oh! So simple and yet so tasty, love the crusty layer.
Hope you are having a great week Ching :-)
I like the crust from pan frying, think I prefer it to baked :)
My husband eats only two kinds of fishes: tuna and salmon. Thanks for sharing this recipe I'm sure he will love this; simple and delicious. And thanks for the tip on using cornstarch :-) I could use that one on all my fried dishes :-)
good idea using pepper lemon seasoning..full of Omega 3 and it's good!! luckily we live in USA,salmon is pretty cheap here compare with other Asian countries..for me I like to make sushi out of it!!
It looks so good! I usually use flour but i will try it out with cornstarch!
