Great Pecan and Bread Crust for Salmon

Dry the Fish for a Crispy Crust

Use paper towels to wipe the surface of the fish fillets until they are quite dry. Removing surface water helps the bread crumbs adhere more easily. For even crispier skin, try salting the fillets an hour or two ahead and then patting them dry just before cooking. They'll release their own surface water as they dry out, offering even more surface for the breading to cling to.

Use Coarse Breadcrumbs

Unlike breadcrumbs that are made from pulverized dry bread, coarse breadcrumbs are made from chunks of day-old bread that have been hand-torn. These crumbs are chewier and hold more texture during the cooking process. The result is a crust that's pleasingly crispy and toothsome.

Don't be Afraid to Press the Crust

After you've dredged the fillets in the bread crumb mixture, give them a gentle press. This helps the crumbs adhere more tightly to the fish. Repeat this several times during the searing process to help the fillets develop a crispy crust.

Use a Big Pan for the Best Sear

To prevent the skin of the fillets from steaming, make sure to use a large saute pan or skillet for the searing process. A roomy pan helps the fillets brown more evenly without steaming. Using a pan that's too small will cause the fillets to release water, cooking them more like steamed fish than seared.

Start with Plenty of Oil

To get a nice crust on the fillets, make sure to use plenty of oil to start. This allows the fillets to sizzle and brown rather than steaming.

Adjust the Cooking Time

The cooking time for your fish filets may need adjusting based on their size and the type of pan or skillet you are using. Cook the fillets until they are opaque in the center, and internal temperature is between 140-145°F.

Make a Panfish or Flounder Version

Use panfish or flounder fillets instead of the thicker cut of 1 1/2-inch-thick fillets of trout or catfish. Panfish or flounder fillets are about 3⁄4-inch thick and only take a few minutes longer to pan-fry. Season the fillets liberally with salt and fry them for a total of 8-10 minutes, flipping about every 2 minutes to evenly brown the fillets.

Conclusion

This recipe for Pecan and Bread-cr unclessted Salmon cooks in a single skillet and delivers a delicious meal that is ready in 30 minutes! With its toasted pecan and buttery bread crumb crust, this crispy, flaky fish is sure to be a hit with your family. You can garnish the fillets with fresh herbs or a squeeze of citrus before serving.
