Tips:

  • Choose fresh, high-quality salmon. Look for salmon that is firm to the touch and has a bright pink color.
  • Use a good-quality nonstick skillet. This will help prevent the salmon from sticking and will make it easier to cook evenly.
  • Sear the salmon skin-side down first. This will help to crisp up the skin and keep the salmon moist.
  • Do not overcrowd the skillet. If you are cooking multiple pieces of salmon, make sure to give each piece enough space so that it can cook evenly.
  • Cook the salmon until it is just cooked through. Overcooked salmon will be dry and tough.
  • Season the salmon with salt and pepper before cooking. You can also add other herbs and spices, such as garlic powder, onion powder, or paprika.
  • Serve the salmon immediately with your favorite sides. Some popular sides for salmon include roasted vegetables, mashed potatoes, or rice.
