Chuckwagoncookie S Pan Seared Crispy Skin Salmon Recipes

PAN-SEARED CRISPY SALMON

Steps:

• 1. Season the fish on both sides with salt and pepper. Heat 3 tablespoons of the olive oil in a saute pan. Place the salmon, skin-side down, in the pan and cook (without moving the fish) until the skin is crispy, about 4 to 5 minutes. Reduce the heat, turn the salmon, and continue to cook for another 3 to 4 minutes.
• 2. Meanwhile, heat the remaining tablespoon oil in another saute pan over medium heat. Add the garlic, shallots, and leek; saute for 3 to 5 minutes until the leak begins to soften.
• 3. Add the cannellini beans and the wine; bring to a gentle simmer. Add the butter. Season to taste with salt and pepper.

CHUCKWAGONCOOKIE'S PAN SEARED CRISPY SKIN SALMON

Steps:

• Mix the Olive Oil, cajun spice mix and citrus mix together well and let sit for 20 minutes to let flavors be absorbed by the oil. Mix in the lemon juice.
• Smear onto the flesh side of the salmon, place both together skin side out in plastic bag and marinate in refrigerator for up to 4 hours.
• Place cast iron or oven safe heavy bottom skillet over high heat, with no oil.
• Preheat oven to 425 degrees.
• Meanwhile, remove salmon from marinade. Feel free to add a light coat of cajun and citrus spices. Dot the fleshy side with the sliced shallot, garlic and tomato.
• When skillet is very hot, add a light coat of vegetable oil. If it smokes, it's hot enough.
• Place salmon skin side down in skillet and let it cook for 2 1/2 minutes.
• DO NOT move it or bother it -- just walk away and let it cook.
• After 2 1/2 minutes, place skillet in preheated oven and let cook until internal temperature of the salmon reaches 132 degrees. Remove from oven and let rest for about 5 minutes.
• Goes well with pasta or rice!

CRISPY SKIN SALMON

Steps:

• 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 "sets" 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's hot, so serve immediately! Pictured in post with creamy Lemon & Herb Risotto which acts as a side dish and semi-sauce (super easy no-stir recipe!).

CRISPY PAN SEARED SALMON SALAD

Steps:

• Season salmon filet with salt and pepper.
• In a pan over medium heat, melt ghee. Place salmon filet into warm pan, skin side up.
• Allow to sear for about 2 minutes, then flip and continue to cook for another 2 minutes or so. (May need to cook 1-2 minutes longer for thicker salmon filets, or if you prefer your salmon more well-done.)
• To prepare salad, add arugula to a large bowl with sliced red onion and roasted butternut squash*.
• Drizzle salad with olive oil and balsamic vinegar, tossing to coat.
• Serve salad on a plate with salmon, lemon wedges, sliced avocado, a fried egg, or any other toppings you like.

CRISPY PAN SEARED SALMON

Steps:

• Pat salmon dry on both sides and sprinkle with kosher salt and black pepper.
• Make seasoning mix & season salmon. In small bowl, mix together the dry oregano, garlic powder and paprika. Season the flesh side of the fish with this spice mixture.
• Sear the Salmon. In a large cast iron skillet, heat 2 tbsp extra virgin olive oil over medium-high heat until shimmering but not smoking. Reduce the heat to medium-low and add one salmon fillet, skin-side down, and press the top with the back of a fish spatula for about 10 seconds (this prevents the skin from curling up.) Add the remaining salmon fillets, one at a time, pressing each with the spatula for 10 seconds. Cook for about 4 minutes. If skin resists lifting (or if it's sticking to the pan), allow the fish to cook for a little bit longer until you are able to lift up easily (no more than 6 minutes in total). Using the spatula and a fork to assist in flipping, flip the fish to the flesh side to cook for about 15 seconds or so. ( Salmon is ready when it registers 110°F (43°C) in the very center for rare, 120°F (49°C) for medium-rare, or 130°F (54°C) for medium, 5 to 7 minutes total.)
• Remove salmon from heat and immediately add lemon juice and lemon zest.
• Make arugula salad. In a bowl, add the baby arugula. Season with salt and add juice of ½ lemon and extra virgin olive oil. Toss to combine.
• Serve salmon with arugula salad (or any of the sides or salads suggested in the post). Enjoy!
