Pan-fried Salmon Lemon Garlic

After my previous post about the super green recipe, Stir-fry Kale with Chicken, now it’s about Salmon recipe (Pan-fried Salmon Lemon Garlic), another super high protein food. Salmon contains very high protein with its high Omega-3 fatty acid and high Vitamin D content. With that, I think it is a very good idea to have salmon served on my dining table regularly. Just need to be creative as to not making the same thing over and over again that I lost my kids’ interest to consume it.

I chose to pan-fry the Salmon, because it is much quicker AND it will satisfy the hungry belly of my three-year old much faster. I never heard that there is a way to make a toddler be patient when it comes to food. If there is, please… do tell! Well, let’s dig in, shall we?

 Tip: For the healthier option, you can bake the Salmon in a 425 degree Fahrenheit or about 200 degree Celsius for about 15-20 minutes. To check if the Salmon is ready to go, try to touch it with a fork. If it is a bit flaky, then it should be done.

Ingredient:

• 1 ½ lb salmon fillet
• 2 tablespoons butter
• 2 lemon
• 1 tablespoon relish pickle
• 2 tablespoons rice wine

“Flour batter”

• ½ cup all purpose flour
• ¼ cup rice flour
• 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
• 1 tablespoon cayenne pepper powder
• ½ teaspoon baking soda
• 1 tablespoon garlic powder
• Salt and pepper to taste

Direction:

• Mix all “Flour Batter” ingredient.
• Slice 1 lemon to about ½ inch thick. Squeeze another to get the juice.
• Clean and cut the salmon into small rectangular pieces. In this recipe, I cut by the bone line to divide into two, then cut again into about 2 inch width
• Coat salmon with the flour batter.
• Melt butter in a pan under medium heat.
• Pan-fry the coated salmon until each side is brownish, about 3 min.
• Add lemon slices to the pan and heat it until it’s a bit brown. Add lemon juice, rice wine and relish pickle. Cook it for only about 1 min, when the liquid is boiling a bit. Serve while it is hot either with rice or salad.
