Cornmeal-Crusted Pan-Seared Salmon features a crunchy, golden exterior that gives way to tender, juicy fish with hints of lemon pepper and a subtle heat from white pepper.

1

Heat oil in a cast iron skillet to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
2

In a medium bowl, whisk together the cornmeal, flour, seasoned salt, kosher salt, lemon pepper, and white pepper.
3

In a separate bowl, beat the eggs for 10 seconds.
4

Working with one piece at a time, dip the salmon into the beaten eggs to coat fully. Dredge the salmon in the cornmeal mixture to cover completely. Shake off any excess.
5

Working in batches, fry the salmon in the hot oil, flipping halfway through, until a golden brown crust forms, 8 to 10 minutes. Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate to drain.
