Ingredients

  • 4 salmon fillets around 500g of salmon
  • 2 tsp salt
  • 4 tbsp mayo
  • 1/2 cup medium grind cornmeal

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Start by patting the salmon fillets dry with a paper towel to remove any excess moisture. (If your salmon has skin, remove it)
  2. Sprinkle a pinch of salt on both sides of the salmon fillets; this step enhances the fish's flavor.
  3. Now, lightly spread a thin layer of mayonnaise on both sides of the salmon. Mayo will help the cornmeal stick, giving you that satisfying crunch.
  4. Place cornmeal in a medium-sized bowl. Press the salmon fillets into the cornmeal, making sure they're evenly coated. This is where the magic happens, creating that irresistible crispy crust.
  5. Heat a large skillet (nonstick) over medium-high heat. Add a drizzle of olive oil to your pan. Then, carefully place the salmon fillets in the skillet and cook until they turn a beautiful golden brown, usually around 3-4 minutes per side.
  6. Once both sides are perfectly browned, remove the salmon from the skillet and place them on a plate lined with paper towels to blot any excess oil. Serve and enjoy!
