Provided by Esther Clark

Categories     Dinner, Main course, Supper

Time 6m

Number Of Ingredients 4

2 x 150g salmon fillets (about 4cm thick), skin on
½ tbsp olive oil
20g unsalted butter
½ lemon, juiced

Steps:

  • Generously season the salmon fillets with salt and pepper. Put the oil and butter in a non-stick frying pan over a medium heat, swirling around the pan until melted and foaming, then turn up the heat. Once the butter starts bubbling, add the salmon fillets to the pan, skin-side-down, and fry for 3 mins until crisp. Flip the fillets over, lower the heat and cook for 2 mins more, then drizzle with the lemon juice. Transfer the salmon to a plate and baste with any of the buttery juices left in the pan.

Tips:

  • Choose the freshest salmon possible. Look for fish that is bright pink or orange in color, with no signs of bruising or discoloration. Fresh salmon should also have a mild, clean smell.
  • Pat the salmon dry before cooking. This will help the skin crisp up and prevent the fish from sticking to the pan.
  • Season the salmon generously with salt and pepper. You can also add other seasonings, such as garlic powder, onion powder, or paprika.
  • Use a well-seasoned cast iron skillet. This will help the salmon cook evenly and prevent it from sticking.
  • Heat the skillet over medium-high heat before adding the salmon. This will help the skin crisp up.
  • Cook the salmon for 3-4 minutes per side, or until it is cooked through. The salmon is cooked through when it is opaque in the center.
  • Serve the salmon immediately with your favorite sides. Some popular sides include roasted vegetables, mashed potatoes, or rice.

Conclusion:

Pan-fried wild salmon is a healthy and delicious meal that can be prepared in just a few minutes. By following these tips, you can ensure that your salmon is cooked perfectly every time. Serve the salmon with your favorite sides and enjoy!
