For extra crispy breading, double dredge the salmon fillets: Dip in egg, then cornmeal, then egg again, and finally back in the cornmeal. Feel free to experiment with different seasonings in the cornmeal mixture. Smoked paprika, garlic powder, or cayenne pepper can add a delicious twist. Ensure the oil is hot enough before adding the salmon. If the oil isn't hot enough, the breading will absorb too much oil and become soggy.
