CAST IRON SKILLET SEARED SALMON
I am a big fan of salmon skin, especially if it's salted and a bit crispy and chewy. This recipe gives me that. Plus, the way it's cooked, the fish has a 'steamed' quality to it. Do not uncover the fillets or move them around as they cook. I always use my cast-iron skillet for this because it always comes out best!

- * I keep the salmon warm and place on the dinner plate and then spoon the sauce on top. I think this works better.
Tips:
- Choose the right salmon fillet: Look for a fillet that is thick and firm, with a deep orange-red color. Avoid fillets that are thin or have a lot of white streaks.
- Season the salmon well: Salmon is a mild-flavored fish, so it's important to season it well. Use a combination of salt, pepper, and your favorite herbs and spices.
- Use a non-stick skillet: A non-stick skillet will help prevent the salmon from sticking to the pan and breaking apart.
- Cook the salmon over medium heat: Cooking the salmon over medium heat will help it cook evenly without overcooking.
- Don't overcrowd the skillet: If you're cooking multiple fillets of salmon, make sure to leave enough space between them so that they can cook evenly.
- Cook the salmon until it flakes easily with a fork: The salmon is cooked when it flakes easily with a fork. Don't overcook it, or it will become dry and tough.
- Serve the salmon immediately: Salmon is best served immediately after it is cooked. You can garnish it with fresh herbs, lemon wedges, or a dollop of tartar sauce.
Conclusion:
With these tips in mind, you'll be able to cook a delicious and flaky salmon fillet in no time. Salmon is a versatile fish that can be cooked in a variety of ways, so feel free to experiment with different recipes and find the one that you like best.
