PAN-SEARED SALMON WITH CAPERS AND GREEN PEPPERCORNS



Pan-Seared Salmon With Capers and Green Peppercorns image

I got this recipe from an Oprah Magazine back in 2001, I have changed it just a bit over the years. We make this frequently. It is my favorite way to make salmon. The capers and peppercorns are sharp compared to the delicate flavor of salmon. I am only able to find the green peppercorn in brine at specialty food stores. If I can't find them or I'm just too lazy to go out and search, I have made this recipe without them and it is still really good. I like to serve this with a side of couscous with pinenuts and spoon some of the pan juices on it too. Enjoy!

Tips:

  • Choose the right salmon. Look for wild-caught salmon that is sustainably sourced. Fresh salmon should be firm to the touch and have a vibrant color.
  • Cook the salmon skin-side down. This will help to crisp the skin and keep the flesh moist.
  • Don't overcook the salmon. Salmon is a delicate fish, so it's important to cook it quickly over high heat. The ideal internal temperature for cooked salmon is 145 degrees Fahrenheit.
  • Season the salmon simply. Salt and pepper are all you need to bring out the natural flavor of the salmon.
  • Serve the salmon with a variety of sides. Roasted vegetables, mashed potatoes, and rice are all good options.

Conclusion:

Seared salmon is a delicious and healthy meal that can be prepared in just a few minutes. By following these tips, you can cook salmon perfectly every time.
