Pan-Seared Salmon

If you don’t have an outdoor grill, this is a great option for nicely browned salmon fillets that are crisp on the outside and moist on the inside. This method cooks the fish very quickly, so keep that in mind when you’re preparing a meal. You’ll want to serve these fillets shortly after taking them out of the skillet.

This is a very quick and delicious way to cook salmon especially if you don't have a grill. It tends to splatter though, so wear an apron or old t-shirt. We’ve given instructions for 2 fillets, but you can easily cook as many as you want, increasing the oil and seasonings as needed.

Instructions

1. Cut salmon into single serving sizes if needed. Brush or rub about 1 teaspoon oil over each side of each fillet.

   
2. Season the flesh side with salt and pepper. Optionally, add one of the other herbs or spices listed, or follow the recipe you’re using.

   
3. Heat skillet over medium heat. Once hot, add the salmon, flesh side down. Cook about 2 minutes or until slightly browned. Turn over and cook another 1-2 minutes on the skin side (or other flesh side). If needed, turn so the sides are down and cook about 30 seconds on each side. This is only necessary if the fillets are thick.

   
4. Transfer fillets to a plate and cover with foil. Let rest for about 5 minutes. They will continue to cook a little and become juicier.
5. Serve with the first cooked side up, or whichever side is more attractive.
