Servings: 2

Prep Time: 20 minutes

Cooking Time: 15 minutes

Total Time: 35 minutes

Ingredients

  • (2) 6-ounce Salmon Fillets, patted dry of any excess moisture
  • 1 Egg, beaten
  • 1/2 cup Panko Breadcrumbs
  • Kosher Salt, to taste
  • Cracked Black Pepper, to taste

Directions

  1. Place beaten egg and breadcrumbs in two separate shallow bowls.

  2. Heat a non-stick pan over medium high heat. Add canola oil to coat pan.

  3. Season salmon portions with salt and pepper. Dip the top side of each salmon portion in beaten egg and then in the Panko, breading only on the top side of the salmon.

  4. Place portions in the pan, breaded side down. Salmon should sizzle when placed in pan.

  5. Pan fry for about 4 minutes until a golden-brown crispy exterior is achieved.

  6. Flip and cook for approximately 3 more minutes.

  7. CHEF TIP: To check that salmon is cooked through, gently push the flat side of a wooden skewer through the thickest part of the fish. If it goes through with no resistance, it is done. If there is resistance, cook for another minute or so and test again.

  8. Plate salmon with your favorite coleslaw and enjoy immediately!
