Ingredients
- 2 pounds salmon filets boneless, skinless*
- 1 teaspoon onion salt
- freshly ground black pepper optional
- 2 tablespoons cornstarch more, if needed
- 1 teaspoon olive oil or other neutral oil
Instructions
- Rinse the salmon filets. Pat dry with paper towels and cut the filets in half, and place on a large plate or other flat surface.
- Sprinkle both sides of the salmon filets with onion salt and ground black pepper (if using). Sprinkle both sides of the salmon filets with cornstarch. Set aside until ready to cook.
- Preheat a large non-stick frying pan for 4-5 minutes on medium heat.
- Add olive oil to the pan and swirl the pan to coat. Place the cornstarch coated pieces of salmon flat side (skin side) up and pan fry for 5 minutes, until slightly browned.
- Use a fish turner or a turner to lift a filet to check if the first side is slightly browned. Turn the fish over pan-fry for an additional 5 minutes until the sides of the salmon pieces are opaque (1 more minute if needed). Remove from heat and serve immediately.
Notes
*If preparing salmon filets with skin, place a filet skin side up on a clean surface (such as a cutting board) in your sink and use a small sharp knife to scrape against the scales. Rinse clean, drain, pat dry with clean paper towels and use the paper towels to remove any loose scales from the filet.
