Quick and Easy Cornmeal Crusted Salmon

Start by patting the salmon fillets dry with a paper towel to remove any excess moisture. (If your salmon has skin, remove it)
Sprinkle a pinch of salt on both sides of the salmon fillets; this step enhances the fish's flavor.
Now, lightly spread a thin layer of mayonnaise on both sides of the salmon. Mayo will help the cornmeal stick, giving you that satisfying crunch.
Place cornmeal in a medium-sized bowl. Press the salmon fillets into the cornmeal, making sure they're evenly coated. This is where the magic happens, creating that irresistible crispy crust.
Heat a large skillet (nonstick) over medium-high heat. Add a drizzle of olive oil to your pan. Then, carefully place the salmon fillets in the skillet and cook until they turn a beautiful golden brown, usually around 3-4 minutes per side.
Once both sides are perfectly browned, remove the salmon from the skillet and place them on a plate lined with paper towels to blot any excess oil. Serve and enjoy!
