Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces salmon fillets
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 2 tablespoons fresh dill, chopped
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 4 pieces lemon wedges, for serving
Instructions
Rinse the salmon fillets under cold water and pat them dry with paper towels. Ensure they are thoroughly dry for optimum crispiness.
In a small bowl, combine lemon juice and chopped fresh dill. Brush this mixture generously over both sides of each salmon fillet.
In another small bowl, mix together the garlic powder, black pepper, and paprika.
Sprinkle the spice mixture evenly over the fillets, ensuring each piece is well-coated.
Place the flour on a shallow plate. Lightly dredge each fillet in the flour, shaking off the excess, to form a thin coating.
In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium-high heat until shimmering.
Carefully place the salmon fillets, skin-side up, in the skillet. Fry them for about 4-5 minutes without moving them, allowing the bottom to become crispy and golden brown.
Using a spatula, carefully flip the fillets over and cook for an additional 4-5 minutes, or until the salmon is cooked through and the skin is crispy.
Remove the salmon from the skillet, letting any excess oil drain off, and transfer to a serving platter.
Serve immediately with lemon wedges on the side.
