Let's Cook
-
Step 1.
Coat the bite-size pieces of skinless salmon fillets with ¼ cup yellow mustard, then set aside.
-
Step 2.
In a large bowl, combine 1 cup self-rising flour, ½ cup yellow cornmeal, 2 teaspoons lemon pepper, 2 teaspoons seafood seasoning, and ½ teaspoon cayenne pepper. Mix well.
-
Step 3.
Toss the mustard-coated salmon pieces with the flour mixture until evenly coated. Let the fish sit for about 5 minutes so the coating adheres.
-
Step 4.
In a large skillet, heat 2 to 2½ cups vegetable oil to 360–370°F (use a thermometer). Working in batches to avoid overcrowding, carefully add the salmon pieces and fry until golden brown, about 5–6 minutes. Remove with a slotted spoon and drain on a paper-towel-lined plate or baking sheet. Let cool slightly before serving.
