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
Directions
Step 1
Pat the salmon fillets dry with paper towels and set them aside.
Step 2
In a shallow dish, mix together the flour, cornstarch, salt, black pepper, paprika, and garlic powder.
Step 3
In another shallow dish, beat the eggs together with the water until well combined.
Step 4
Dip each salmon fillet into the flour mixture, ensuring it is coated on all sides. Shake off any excess flour.
Step 5
Next, dip the floured salmon into the egg mixture, making sure it is fully coated.
Step 6
Return the salmon to the flour mixture for a second coat, pressing lightly to ensure the mixture adheres.
Step 7
In a large deep skillet or frying pan, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat until it reaches about 350°F (175°C).
Step 8
Carefully place each salmon fillet into the hot oil, cooking 2 pieces at a time to avoid crowding.
Step 9
Fry the salmon for about 4-5 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and cooked through.
Step 10
Remove the fried salmon from the oil using a slotted spoon and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to drain.
Step 11
Repeat with the remaining fillets.
Step 12
Serve the crispy fried salmon immediately with lemon wedges on the side.
