For a spicier kick, add a pinch of cayenne pepper to the bread crumb mixture. To prevent sticking, ensure the skillet is well-heated before adding the salmon. If you prefer baking, preheat oven to 400°F (200°C), place breaded salmon on a baking sheet, and bake for 12-15 minutes, or until cooked through. Serve with a side of Mexican rice, black beans, or a fresh avocado salad for a complete and satisfying meal.
