Description

Salmon isn't usually fried for breakfast, but if prepared this way, it can be a great bacon substitute that will help you incorporate more fish into your diet.

Ingredients

1 (6 ounce) salmon fillet, frozen
1 teaspoon sea salt
ground black pepper to taste
1 dash liquid smoke flavoring
2 tablespoons butter, divided

Directions

1 Thaw the salmon slightly in cold water, and remove the skin. Use a very sharp knife to slice the fillet into thin slices. Place the slices in a bowl, and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Toss with enough liquid smoke to coat the fish, and refrigerate for 30 minutes.
2 Heat the butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Fry the salmon slices for a few minutes turning once. Fish should flake easily with a fork when done.
