Perfect Seared Salmon
Use this method for perfectly cooked salmon every time! Juicy and flavorful healthy fish for your weekly menu.
Equipment
- cast iron skillet
Ingredients
- 1 6 oz thick portion of salmon I prefer farm raised because it's milder. Norwegian or Scottish are best.
- 1 tsp Northwest Salmon Spice or spice of choice sometimes I just use some smoked paprika, salt and pepper
- 1 tbsp olive oil
Instructions
- Prep fish by rubbing spices on the meat side.
- Preheat the oven to 400 °F
- When oven is ready. Heat the oil in the cast iron skillet until slightly smoking.
- Place the fish meat side down first for 1-2 minutes or until golden brown.
- Flip and cook for another minute. Transfer pan to the oven for 10 minutes. Remove and serve immediately.
