Ingredients
Ingredients List
- Salmon fillets, 4 pieces (6 oz each)
- Pecans, finely chopped (1 cup)
- Brown sugar (1/4 cup)
- All-purpose flour (1/2 cup)
- Milk (1 cup) – for marinating
- Seasoning salt (1 tsp)
- Vegetable oil (for pan frying)
Instructions
- Marinate: Place the salmon fillets in a dish and cover with milk for 10 minutes. This process helps tenderize the fish.
- Prepare the crust: Mix the chopped pecans, brown sugar, flour, and seasoning salt in a bowl.
- Coat the salmon: Remove salmon from milk, pat dry, and dredge each piece thoroughly in the pecan mixture.
- Pan fry: Heat oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Carefully place each fillet in the skillet and fry until golden, about 2-3 minutes per side.
- Bake: Transfer the salmon to a baking sheet and bake in a preheated oven at 400°F for about 8-10 minutes or until the fish flakes easily with a fork.
