Cooking Instructions
Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Crispy Pan-Seared Salmon.
Step 1
Begin by generously seasoning the salmon fillets with kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper on both sides, ensuring every inch is coated for maximum flavor.
Step 2
In a nonstick skillet, warm the olive oil over medium-low heat until it shimmers invitingly.
Step 3
Gently place the salmon fillets in the skillet, skin-side up, and let them sizzle for about four minutes, allowing the top to develop a beautiful golden crust.
Step 4
With a spatula, carefully flip the fillets and continue cooking for another three minutes, or until the salmon feels firm to the touch and the skin has turned delightfully crispy.
Step 5
This simple yet elegant preparation will elevate your dining experience, making each bite a celebration of flavor and texture.
