Pan-Seared Salmon
(1 Servings)Ingredients
1 | 150 g salmon fillet, skin-on |
2 | 1 tbsp olive oil (15 ml) |
3 | Salt, to taste |
4 | Black pepper, to taste |
5 | 1 lemon wedge |
6 | Fresh herbs (optional, for garnish) |
Step-by-Step Instructions
Prepare the Salmon: Pat the salmon fillet dry with a paper towel. Season both sides generously with salt and black pepper.
Heat the Pan: In a non-stick skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat until it shimmers.
Cook the Salmon: Place the salmon fillet skin-side down in the hot pan. Cook for about 5-7 minutes without moving it, until the skin is crispy and the fish is cooking through.
Flip the Salmon: Carefully flip the salmon using a spatula. Cook for an additional 3-4 minutes until the other side is cooked and the salmon flakes easily with a fork.
Serve: Transfer the salmon to a plate, squeeze fresh lemon juice over the top, and garnish with fresh herbs if desired.
Pro Tips
For extra flavor, you can add minced garlic or fresh herbs to the pan while cooking the salmon.
Make sure the pan is hot enough before adding the salmon to achieve a nice sear on the skin.
