In this blog post, we will guide you through a simple yet mouthwatering recipe for cooking fresh salmon in a skillet.

Ingredients:

  • 2 fresh salmon fillets
  • 2 tablespoons of olive oil
  • 1 tablespoon of lemon juice
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Optional: Fresh herbs like dill, parsley, or thyme

Instructions:

Step 1: Prepare the Salmon

Start by patting the fresh salmon fillets dry with a paper towel. This helps to remove excess moisture and allows the salmon to achieve a nice sear. Season the fillets with salt and pepper on both sides, ensuring an even distribution.

Step 2: Preheat the Skillet

Place a skillet over medium-high heat and add olive oil. Allow the skillet to heat up for a minute or two, ensuring the oil is evenly distributed and covering the bottom of the pan.

Step 3: Sear the Salmon

Gently place the salmon fillets into the hot skillet, skin side down if they have the skin on. Let them cook undisturbed for about 4-5 minutes, or until the bottom is nicely browned and crispy. If desired, you can also add fresh herbs like dill, parsley, or thyme to the skillet at this stage to infuse additional flavor into the salmon.

Step 4: Flip and Cook

Using a spatula, carefully flip the salmon fillets and cook them for an additional 3-4 minutes, or until the salmon is cooked through yet still moist and tender in the center. The exact cooking time will depend on the thickness of your salmon fillets, so keep an eye on them to prevent overcooking.

Step 5: Add the Finishing Touch

Once the salmon is cooked to perfection, drizzle some lemon juice over the fillets to add a refreshing citrus flavor. Be careful not to overpower the delicate taste of the salmon. Serve the salmon immediately while it’s still hot.

And there you have it! A deliciously simple recipe for cooking fresh salmon in a skillet. This versatile dish pairs well with a variety of sides, such as roasted vegetables, mashed potatoes, or a refreshing salad. Enjoy the flavors of perfectly cooked salmon with minimal effort and maximum satisfaction.
