crispy skin salmon

Recipe video above. Cooking salmon so the skin is evenly crispy from end to end is simple if you follow two key tips: Firstly, ensuring the skin is dry. Secondly, using enough oil to cover the base of the skillet so the skin fries properly and goes golden and crispy rather than just burning in patches. Easy!Pictured with a creamy Lemon &amp; Herb Risotto (ultra easy hands-free baked method!).

Crispy Skin Salmon

salmon skin-on (Note 1))

olive oil ((or other cooking oil))

tsp black pepper

olive oil ((or vegetable oil))

lemon wedges

Dry skin: Pat the skin of the salmon very well with a paper towel until dry. If time permits, place the salmon skin side up in the fridge for 1 hour (uncovered,) to dry it out even more.

Season: Drizzle flesh side with half the oil (just a tiny bit) and rub over skin. Sprinkle with half the salt and pepper. Turn fillet over and repeat. Do not do this step until just before cooking.

Heat oil: Put enough oil in a large non stick skillet so it fully covers the base. Heat on medium high until it shimmers (but not smoking).

Skin side down: Place salmon in the skillet skin side down, then immediately turn the head down to medium.

Press down: Using a spatula or something similar, press down on each salmon for 10 seconds so the skin is pushed flat against the skillet and &quot;sets&quot; its form. If you can do at least two at a time that is ideal.

Cook 7 minutes: Cook for 7 minutes, or until the salmon is cooked 3/4 of the way through (you will see the colour changing up the side of the salmon) and the skin is crispy.

90 sec on flesh side: Flip the salmon to skin side is up and cook for a further 90 seconds.

Final skin blast! (My secret tip) Flip the salmon again to skin side down, turn the heat up to medium high and cook the skin side again for 60 seconds, just to give it a final blast of heat to reinforce crispiness!

Serve skin side UP to protect the crispy skin. Fish skin will only stay crispy while it&#039;s hot, so serve immediately! Pictured in post with creamy Lemon &amp; Herb Risotto which acts as a side dish and semi-sauce (super easy no-stir recipe!).

Honey Garlic Salmon is the best stove top salmon recipe for busy weeknights. Juicy salmon, crispy skin and caramelized sweet and sticky sauce make this 30 minute dinner crazy good!

Honey Garlic Salmon

tbsp honey

lemon

garlic

tsp salt

x salmon

green onions (finely chopped)

In a small bowl, whisk together honey, lemon/lime juice, garlic, salt and pepper.

Place salmon fillets in a large resealable Ziploc bag and pour marinade over. Squeeze as much air out as possible and seal the bag. Gently move fillets around inside the bag to make sure they are all evenly coated. Place flesh side down and let marinate 15 minutes in the fridge.

Preheat large non-stick skillet on low - medium heat and add oil, making sure it coats the bottom of the skillet evenly. Place salmon fillets flesh side down leaving enough space in between them. Cover with a lid and cook for 3 minutes.

Remove the lid, cook another minute and flip over. Repeat: cover, cook for 3 minutes, remove the lid and cook for another minute. If your skillet is not large enough, I recommend cooking in two batches. If you over crowd the skillet, cooking time increases by a few minutes for each step.

Serve hot garnished with green onions, alongside quinoa and steamed broccoli - my favourite.
