Tips:

  • Choose the right salmon: Opt for fresh, wild-caught salmon if possible. Look for a fillet that is firm and has a vibrant color.
  • Pat the salmon dry: Before searing, pat the salmon dry with paper towels to remove excess moisture. This will help the skin crisp up.
  • Use a hot skillet: Make sure your skillet is hot before adding the salmon. This will help sear the fish quickly and prevent it from sticking.
  • Don't overcrowd the skillet: Cook the salmon in batches if necessary to avoid overcrowding the skillet. This will help the fish cook evenly.
  • Cook the salmon skin-side down first: Start by cooking the salmon skin-side down. This will help the skin crisp up and protect the delicate flesh of the fish.
  • Don't overcook the salmon: Salmon is a delicate fish, so it's important to not overcook it. Cook the salmon for just a few minutes per side, or until it is cooked through but still slightly pink in the center.
  • Let the salmon rest: After cooking, let the salmon rest for a few minutes before serving. This will allow the juices to redistribute throughout the fish.
  • Serve with your favorite sides: Seared salmon can be served with a variety of sides, such as roasted vegetables, mashed potatoes, or a salad.

Conclusion:

Seared salmon with balsamic sauce is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for any occasion. The crispy skin, flaky flesh, and tangy sauce make this dish a winner. With a few simple tips, you can make this restaurant-quality dish at home. So next time you're looking for a quick and healthy meal, give this recipe a try. You won't be disappointed!
