How To Season Salmon
To get a nice crust on the skin, season it with salt and pepper. That’s it. No fancy rubs or spices at this point. You’ll get to the fun stuff after you pan sear. Be generous with the salt and pepper!
Salmon Cooking Times & Temperatures
Get your pan to a medium-high temperature with an oil that has a high smoke point. Adding fish to a hot pan ensures the perfect sear. Let it cook with the skin side down for about 2-3 minutes until you start to see a crust forming where the skin hits the pan.
Once you have a brag worthy sear, it’s time to add the finishing ingredients.
Finishing Your Salmon In The Oven
To get that restaurant quality salmon, replace the fish with thinly cut lemon slices to prevent it from burning and to get that citrus flavour that every good piece of fish needs.
Once you’ve put the salmon on top of the lemon slices, place the whole pan into an oven that’s been preheated to 400 degrees for 6-10 minutes until it is perfectly cooked.
How Long Should You Let Your Salmon Rest?
Once it’s cooked to your liking, take the pan out of the oven and let the fish rest for 2-3 minutes in the pan.
Plating Salmon
After resting plate your salmon - don’t bother with any fancy garnishes or arrangements because this fish won’t last long on the plate anyway! Gently squeeze more lemon on top for some extra citrus flavour.
