Mastering the Perfect Salmon Cooking Tech A Howto Guide Discover the secrets to cooking salmon to perfection Elevate your salmon dish with our expert tips and techniques


Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 salmon fillets (about 68 oz each)
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil or avocado oil
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
  • lemon wedges, fresh herbs (such as dill, parsley, or chives), or a simple sauce (like lemon butter or teriyaki)

  • Instructions

  • Begin by patting the salmon fillets dry with a paper towel. Season the salmon generously with salt and pepper on both sides.
  • Heat a large, nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Once the pan is hot, add the oil and swirl to coat the bottom.
  • Carefully place the salmon fillets, skin-side down, in the hot pan. Cook for 4-5 minutes, or until the skin is crispy and golden brown.
  • Use a spatula to gently flip the salmon fillets. Cook for an additional 4-6 minutes, depending on the thickness of the fillets, until the salmon is opaque and flakes easily with a fork.
  • Remove the pan from the heat and transfer the salmon fillets to a clean plate. Allow the salmon to rest for 5 minutes before serving.
