How to Sear Salmon

  • To sear salmon filets, start by drying room salmon filets with a paper towel.
  • Preheat a heavy-bottomed skillet over medium-high heat.
  • Add a tablespoon of olive oil and swirl it around the skillet.
  • Season the salmon filets with salt and pepper and place it skin side down in the skillet. Cook for 3-4 minutes and press down on the salmon with a spatula or spoon to ensure even cooking.
  • Flip the salmon and cook for another 3-4 minutes, or until the salmon filets are cooked through, crispy and golden. Serve the salmon immediately.

Tips to make Best Pan-Seared Salmon

1. Preheat the skillet: Heat a skillet on medium-high heat.

2. Add oil to the skillet and let it heat for 30 seconds.

3. Check the temperature: Use a thermometer to check the internal temperature of the salmon. The salmon should reach an internal temperature of 145°F. If not, continue to cook until it reaches this temperature.

4. Serve the salmon with your favorite sides and enjoy!
