Pan-Fried Lemon Pepper Salmon


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-frying

Method:

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.

3.  Pan-fry on one side first, then flip over and pan-fry the other side.  It's cooked when you press it in the middle of salmon and it's not soft.  Serve hot with your favorite sides.
