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
Directions
Step 1
Rinse the salmon fillets under cold water and pat them dry with paper towels. Ensure they are thoroughly dry for optimum crispiness.
Step 2
In a small bowl, combine lemon juice and chopped fresh dill. Brush this mixture generously over both sides of each salmon fillet.
Step 3
In another small bowl, mix together the garlic powder, black pepper, and paprika.
Step 4
Sprinkle the spice mixture evenly over the fillets, ensuring each piece is well-coated.
Step 5
Place the flour on a shallow plate. Lightly dredge each fillet in the flour, shaking off the excess, to form a thin coating.
Step 6
In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium-high heat until shimmering.
Step 7
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.
Step 8
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.
Step 9
Remove the salmon from the skillet, letting any excess oil drain off, and transfer to a serving platter.
Step 10
Serve immediately with lemon wedges on the side.
