Cooking Instructions
Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Crispy Skin Salmon with Toasted Pecans.
Step 1
Start by heating a cast iron skillet over high heat, allowing it to get nice and hot.
Step 2
Once it’s ready, add a splash of olive oil and a pat of butter, swirling the skillet gently to blend them together as the butter melts into a delicious golden pool.
Step 3
While that’s happening, take your skin-on salmon fillet and generously season it with Greek seasoning, giving it a flavorful kick.
Step 4
Carefully place the fillet skin-side down in the skillet, then lower the heat to medium-low.
Step 5
Cover the skillet with a tempered glass lid and let the salmon cook for about 12 minutes, or until it’s perfectly flaky and ready to melt in your mouth.
Step 6
As the salmon cooks, toss in some chopped pecans to the skillet and toast them lightly for 1 to 2 minutes, stirring occasionally to keep them from burning and ensuring they turn a lovely golden brown.
Step 7
Once the salmon is done, gently remove it from the skillet and serve it right away, garnished with those beautifully toasted pecans for an extra crunch.
Step 8
Enjoy this delightful dish that’s not only simple to make but also bursting with flavor!.
