Smoky Fried Salmon Recipes

EASY FRIED SALMON

Steps:

• Season salmon with salt and black pepper.
• Heat olive oil in a nonstick skillet over medium-low heat. Place salmon skin-side up in the skillet.
• Cook until golden brown, about 4 minutes. Turn with a spatula and cook until salmon feels firm to the touch and skin is crisp, about 3 minutes more.

SMOKY FRIED SALMON

Steps:

• Thaw the salmon slightly in cold water, and remove the skin. Use a very sharp knife to slice the fillet into thin slices. Place the slices in a bowl, and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Toss with enough liquid smoke to coat the fish, and refrigerate for 30 minutes.
• Heat the butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Fry the salmon slices for a few minutes turning once. Fish should flake easily with a fork when done.

SMOKED SALMON FRIED RICE

Steps:

• Heat a large frying pan on high. When hot, add the oil. Add the onion and celery and a splash of soy sauce and vinegar. Cook for about 3 minutes.
• Add the carrot and cook for another 2 minutes. Add the garlic and cook for another minute. Add the hoisin and stir to combine.
• Move the vegetables to the perimeter of the pan. Add the rice to the center to warm through. Lightly splash with soy sauce and vinegar. Once warmed, mix the rice into the vegetables and move all to the perimeter of the pan.
• Add the 2 eggs to the center of the pan. Scramble. Mix with the vegetables and rice.
• Turn off the heat and add the salmon to the pan. Taste the mixture and season with additional soy sauce and vinegar, if needed.

MOM'S SMOKED SALMON FRIED RICE

Steps:

• Pour the water into a saucepan, add the rice, and bring to a boil. Cover, reduce heat to low, and simmer until rice is tender and water is absorbed, about 20 minutes. Set aside.
• Meanwhile, place 2 tablespoons of cooking oil into a large skillet and heat over medium heat. Stir in the eggs and cook until scrambled to desired consistency. Remove eggs from the pan, and set aside.
• Using the same skillet, add the remaining 1 tablespoon oil, and heat over medium heat. Stir in the onion and green onion; cook until the onion is transparent, about 5 minutes. Stir in the salmon, rice, peas, and scrambled eggs, and toss until evenly blended. Cook and stir rice mixture until heated through. Season to taste with salt and pepper.

PAN-FRIED SALMON

Steps:

• Generously season the salmon fillets with salt and pepper. Put the oil and butter in a non-stick frying pan over a medium heat, swirling around the pan until melted and foaming, then turn up the heat. Once the butter starts bubbling, add the salmon fillets to the pan, skin-side-down, and fry for 3 mins until crisp. Flip the fillets over, lower the heat and cook for 2 mins more, then drizzle with the lemon juice. Transfer the salmon to a plate and baste with any of the buttery juices left in the pan.
