Follow The Directions

01

Step
2 mins

Prepare the Breading Station: In a shallow bowl, combine the Italian-seasoned bread crumbs and taco seasoning mix. Stir well to ensure even distribution of the spices. (2 minutes)

02

Step
5 mins

Coat the Salmon: Gently press each salmon fillet into the bread crumb mixture, ensuring it's evenly coated on all sides. Lightly shake off any excess breading to prevent overcrowding in the skillet. Place the breaded salmon on a clean plate, being careful not to stack them. (5 minutes)

03

Step
2 mins

Sear the Salmon: Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Once the oil is shimmering and hot, carefully place the breaded salmon fillets into the skillet. (2 minutes)

04

Step
10 mins

Cook to Perfection: Cook the salmon for approximately 4 minutes on each side, or until the fish flakes easily with a fork and the breading is golden brown and crispy. The internal temperature should reach 145°F (63°C). (8-10 minutes)

05

Step
0 mins

Serve Immediately: Remove the salmon from the skillet and place it on a serving plate. Garnish with fresh cilantro, a squeeze of lime, or your favorite taco toppings for an extra burst of flavor.

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.
