It's a mistake on your part to resort to google, given that it uses pan and shallow fried interchangeably. Try it!
I would take fried fillet of salmon to mean fried in a pan in a small amount of oil, unless it says otherwise. So would anyone else, which is why the addition of "pan" is superfluous.
I'm perfectly aware of the differences between frying methods, thanks. To assume that someone disagrees with you because of ignorance on their part is supremely arrogant of you.
theclaud was right!
No point in continuing the discussion.
