Iris Warren

Report

Searing salmon at a high temperature locks in the natural juices and heart-healthy oils while creating an irresistible golden crust.

Instructions

Pre-heat a large skillet over high heat then drizzle with olive oil.
Sprinkle salmon filets evenly with salt and pepper then place in the pan, skin side down.
Cook 4 minutes on the first side or until a nice golden brown crust forms. Flip over and cook additional 3-4 minutes.

Notes

I love using thicker, center cut pieces of salmon to keep a medium rare center and crispy crust on the outside. Wild caught salmon is always preferred.
