FRIED SALMON

Salmon or trout fillets

Salt and pepper to taste

Bread crumbs

2 eggs

Or combine:

½ cup medium-fine yellow corn meal; ½ cup flour; 2 tsp. Seasoned salt and ¼ tsp. Pepper

Use any clean fat such as vegetable fat, lard or oil. Vegetable fats are preferred as they do not smoke and burn as readily as animal fats do. Butter is not favored for frying fish as it smokes at too low a temperature.

Put just enough oil into a frying pan to keep fish sticking. Clean fish, wipe dry, season with salt and pepper and roll in bread crumbs or dip fish in slightly beaten egg, then roll fish in corn meal, flour, seasoned salt & pepper mixture.

Heat oil until it begins to smoke, lay in salmon steaks, and brown thoroughly on one side. Turn over on other side. DO NOT OVERCOOK. This mixture can also be used for deep frying.
