Total Time1 hour 20 minutes
Servings: 6

Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup white wine
  • Pinch of the following spices to make up 3 tablespoons or just use Old Bay – dry mustard, ground black pepper, ground ginger, sweet paprika, ground nutmeg, crushed red pepper flakes, ground cardamom . I tend to always have these spices to hand so it’s easy for me..
  • 1 tablespoon kosher salt
  • 1 1 pound boneless salmon fillet
  • 1 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 1 1/2 cups panko bread crumbs
  • 3 tablespoons butter
  • 1 small yellow onion finely chopped
  • 2 eggs beaten
  • Juice of 1 lemon
  • Vegetable oil for frying

Instructions

  • Combine 4 cups water, wine, 2 tbsp of the combined spices, and 1 tbsp. salt in a 10" skillet. Bring to a boil over high heat.
  • Add salmon skin side down, turn off the heat, cover, and let salmon cook gently in the hot liquid for 10 minutes.
  • Using a metal spatula, transfer salmon to a plate skin side up and let cool. (The salmon should still be rare in the middle.)
  • Peel off and discard salmon skin. Break salmon into small pieces and places pieces in a large bowl.

Notes

The recipe calls for Old Bay seasoning, which can be store bought, but I prefer to add my own spices individually to my liking. I am not a huge fan of cinnamon
