Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 375°.
- In a small bowl mix together 3 tablespoons of algae oil with dill, chives, parsley, garlic, and lemon zest. Set aside.
- season the salmon very well on both sides with salt and pepper. Be sure to leave the skin on the salmon.
- Next, add 2 tablespoons of algae oil to a very large saute pan over high heat. Once the oil begins to lightly smoke, add in the salmon flesh side down into the pan and turn the heat down to medium to medium-high heat.
- Cook the salmon for 5 to 6 minutes. It should easily pull away from the pan when flipping it. If it stays stuck to the pan, then give it another minute or 2 or until it pulls away with ease.
- Flip the salmon over and squeeze 1 lemon over the top of the salmon. Note, the pan will smoke.
- Next, add 2/3 of the herb and oil mixture to the top of the salmon and evenly spread it on.
- Finish by baking in the oven for 8 to 10 minutes or until it is cooked.
- Serve the salmon alongside desired assorted roasted vegetables.

SALMON WITH SAUTéED MUSHROOMS, SHALLOTS AND FRESH HERBS
You'll never want to cook salmon any other way after you make this. It steams above a pan of water in a low oven, resulting in a very moist piece of fish. The mushrooms are wonderful on top or on the side.

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 300ºF. Cover a baking sheet with foil and lightly oil the foil. Place the salmon on top. Season with salt and pepper. Fill a roasting pan with boiling water and place it on the oven floor.
- Place the salmon in the oven and bake until the fish flakes and white bubbles of protein appear on the surface, 10 to 20 minutes, depending on the size of the fillets. Remove from the heat.
- Meanwhile, cook the mushrooms. Heat a large, heavy frying pan over medium-high heat and add 1 tablespoon of the olive oil. When the oil is hot (you can feel the heat when you hold your hand above the pan), add the mushrooms and cook, stirring or tossing in the pan, for a few minutes, until they begin to soften and sweat. Add the remaining oil, turn the heat to medium, and add the shallots, garlic, and herbs. Stir together, add 1/2 teaspoon salt and freshly ground pepper to taste, and cook, stirring often, for another 1 to 2 minutes, until the shallots and garlic have softened and the mixture is fragrant. Add the wine and cook, stirring often and scraping the bottom of the pan, until the wine has just about evaporated. Taste and adjust seasonings. Remove from the heat.
- Serve the salmon with a spoonful of mushrooms on top or on the side.

SALMON WITH SESAME AND HERBS
The easy-to-memorize marinade for this fast broiled salmon hits all the right notes: salty, sweet and sour. The fish emerges from the oven with caramelized, crisp skin, which contrasts nicely with a salad of fresh parsley or cilantro (or both), tossed with sesame oil and rice wine vinegar. Close contact with the intense heat will help crisp up the skin, while keeping the rest of the fish tender and flaky. To avoid overcooking the salmon, be sure to buy fillets that are at least 1 inch thick, and keep an eye on the fish.

Steps:
- Combine soy sauce, light brown sugar and 3 tablespoons rice wine vinegar in a wide, shallow bowl (or small baking dish) and season with salt and plenty of black pepper. Place salmon skin-side up in the marinade and let sit for at least 20 minutes, or up to 2 hours.
- Place a rack in the top third of the oven and heat the broiler.
- Place salmon skin-side up on a foil-lined baking sheet; discard the marinade. Transfer to oven and broil until the salmon is cooked through and the skin is bubbling and lightly crisped, 5 to 7 minutes.
- Meanwhile, toast the sesame seeds in a small skillet over medium heat, tossing frequently until seeds are golden brown and fragrant, 3 to 4 minutes.
- Toss shallot rings with remaining 1 tablespoon rice wine vinegar in a medium bowl and season with salt and pepper. Let sit for a minute or two to lightly pickle, then add the sesame seeds, herbs and sesame oil and toss to combine.
- Transfer salmon to a large serving platter and spoon the remaining marinade from the sheet pan over the fillets. Top with sesame and herb salad and serve.

Steps:
- Remove the salmon from the refrigerator and let stand at room temperature for at least 10 minutes. With a paper towel, pat the fillets very dry on both sides.
- Heat the butter and oil in a 12-inch cast iron or heavy stainless steel skillet over medium-high heat until the butter foams and the foam subsides, about 3 minutes. It's important the pan is VERY hot before you add the salmon, or it won't crisp properly.
- Just before adding it to the pan, season the flesh side of the salmon with 1/2 teaspoon salt and pepper.
- Carefully place the fillets in the skillet, skin-side up, lowering them down away from you to protect yourself from splatters. Sprinkle the skin side of the salmon with a pinch of kosher salt.
- Let the salmon cook on the first side completely undisturbed until the flesh appears cooked about 3/4 of the way up the fillet, about 5 to 6 minutes.
- With a fish spatula or similar long, wide, flexible spatula, carefully flip the fillets. They should release easily from the pan; if they are sticking, the salmon most likely isn't ready yet. Let cook another 30 seconds or so, then try again.
- Reduce the pan heat to medium. Cook the salmon on the other side for 2 to 4 minutes more, until it is done to your liking (I remove the salmon at 130 degrees for medium). Remove to a plate and let rest 5 minutes. Squeeze lemon over the top and sprinkle with herbs. Serve hot or at room temperature.

Tips:
- Use fresh, high-quality salmon: The fresher the salmon, the better it will taste. Look for salmon that is bright in color and has a mild, fresh smell.
- Season the salmon well: Don't be afraid to season the salmon generously with salt and pepper. You can also add other spices and herbs, such as garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, or dried thyme.
- Sear the salmon in a hot pan: This will help to create a crispy crust on the outside of the salmon while keeping the inside moist and flaky.
- Don't overcrowd the pan: If you are cooking multiple pieces of salmon, make sure to cook them in batches so that they don't overcrowd the pan. This will help to ensure that they cook evenly.
- Cook the salmon until it is cooked through: The best way to tell if the salmon is cooked through is to insert a fork into the thickest part of the fish. If the fork comes out clean, the salmon is cooked.
- Serve the salmon immediately: Salmon is best served hot off the pan. You can garnish it with fresh herbs, such as parsley or dill, and a squeeze of lemon juice.
Conclusion:
Pan-seared salmon is a delicious and healthy meal that can be prepared in just a few minutes. By following these tips, you can ensure that your salmon turns out perfectly cooked and flavorful every time. So next time you're looking for a quick and easy weeknight meal, give pan-seared salmon a try!
