Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces salmon fillets
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 0.5 cup cornstarch
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon paprika
- 0.5 teaspoon garlic powder
- 2 large eggs
- 2 tablespoons water
- 2 cups vegetable oil
- 4 pieces lemon wedges
Instructions
Pat the salmon fillets dry with paper towels and set them aside.
In a shallow dish, mix together the flour, cornstarch, salt, black pepper, paprika, and garlic powder.
In another shallow dish, beat the eggs together with the water until well combined.
Dip each salmon fillet into the flour mixture, ensuring it is coated on all sides. Shake off any excess flour.
Next, dip the floured salmon into the egg mixture, making sure it is fully coated.
Return the salmon to the flour mixture for a second coat, pressing lightly to ensure the mixture adheres.
In a large deep skillet or frying pan, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat until it reaches about 350°F (175°C).
Carefully place each salmon fillet into the hot oil, cooking 2 pieces at a time to avoid crowding.
Fry the salmon for about 4-5 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and cooked through.
Remove the fried salmon from the oil using a slotted spoon and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to drain.
Repeat with the remaining fillets.
Serve the crispy fried salmon immediately with lemon wedges on the side.
