If you are a salmon lover, look no further. This recipe is the absolute best salmon I have ever made, and the secret to the incredible taste is the crispy shallots!

I get it, salmon is really good for you. But sometimes (a lot of times) salmon meals can be really boring. Especially when it comes to Asian styles, they tend to all taste alike (at least to me). Now we always add sautéed and fried onions to our steak dinners and it dawned on me, why not add them to salmon. At the time, I only had a shallot in the pantry so I decided to give that a try. Holy smokes, if you make this meal you will understand just how delicious those crispy shallots are. It completely changes the meal.

For those of you out there that are gluten free, don’t worry, all you need to do is sub out the soy sauce with Liquid Aminos and for the flour just replace it with Bob’s Red Mill (or whatever your favorite GF flour is). Here are some other tips:

Salmon – For me, I find that Atlantic salmon filets are the best for this meal. They tend to be a little thicker so you won’t over cook them while getting that perfect sear. Leave the skins on, season heavily with salt and pepper and make sure the pan and oil are hot before adding. Skin side up first, cooking for about 4-5 minutes and then flip. After about a minute add in the sauce to start thicken and spoon it over the salmon.

Crispy Shallots – Slice them nice and thin and then toss them in to a bowl with the flour mixture. For best frying results, add them to the fridge for 20 minutes if possible. It will harden the flour increasing the chance that less breading falls off during the frying. In your pan get the oil and butter warmed before adding. The shallots should soak up all the liquid and get nice and crispy!

Now let’s talk about sides real quick. Most of the traditional sides will work well for this meal such as:

• Rice
• Rice Noodles
• Broccoli
• Carrots
• Etc

My favorite though is edamame. And as you would guess, I like to spice mine up a little bit! After steaming in the microwave I add my edamame to a frying pan and then coat with a little Mongolian sauce or Szechuan sauce. It is so finger licking good.
