Simple Pan-Fried Salmon

I guess you could say that salmon is my favourite fish. It's the one I cook most often. I've baked it, barbecued it, broiled it, fried it and steamed it. However you cook it, it's delicious. Here's an easy recipe for pan-fried salmon.

Ingredients
  • 6 4oz pieces boneless salmon fillet, skin removed
  • 1/2 cup white or whole wheat flour
  • salt and pepper
  • 1 tablespoon dried parsley
  • 1 tablespoon dried dill
  • olive oil for frying
  • lemon wedges
Directions
  1. Mix flour and spices. Lightly coat fish pieces in flour mixture dusting off any excess.
