1. Dry skin of salmon fillet with paper towels. 2. Season generously with salt and pepper to remove excess moisture. 3. Heat oil in pan over medium high heat until shimmery (this means the oil hot enough) 4. Put salmon in pan, skin side down. Use a flexible slotted spatula to hold down salmon firmly, to prevent salmon meat from buckling. This takes about 15 secs. 5. Lower heat to medium low as soon as salmon goes in. 6. Cook until 120 degrees in thickest part of salmon (takes about 6 minutes). After about 6 minutes, flip salmon onto second side. It only needs about 15 seconds to cook since it's already 90% cooked by this point. 7. Put on dry paper towel to absorb excess oil and serve.

It's cool that it's short!

You can also score the salmon skin before it hits the pan to avoid the meat from buckling and keep spices, dressings, lemon juice, etc. locked in the meat through the cuts

this video inspired me to make the best organic salmon fillet with skin I have ever had. It was just so beautiful in appearance and the taste with a little fresh sqeezed lemon and my peruvian green garlic sauce just made me so happy.

Thank you Thank you Thank you so much!!! I've been doing it wrong for years. Tonight I bought a nice piece of Salmon and didn't want to mess it up. I followed your instructions verbatim and my salmon skin came out crispy. Nothing stuck to the pan. I flipped it for a few seconds like you mentioned and stopped cooking. Delicious is all I can say. You're so very appreciated for this video. 🙏🏾

This was a great recipe with clear instructions. I followed the steps as described, which resulted in the FIRST time I successfully cooked pan-fried salmon with crispy skin that didn't stick to the pan. I cooked the salmon skin-side down for six minutes and the flip side for two minutes.

Thank you!!!!!! I’ve finally cooked salmon where the skin didn’t stick to the pan!!! And the skin came out crispy too!! 🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻

Tried it just now and boy oh boy it turns out soo good and so beautiful! Considering me dont know how to cook. Thanks!

This is the best recipe for crispy skin salmon I have ever tried. And it is, almost as importantly, repeatable. Doesn't need a non-stick pan or a screaming black steel hotplate and the gentle heat means there is a longer threshold between undercooked and dry in case whatever it is you are serving it with is taking longer than expected. I turned it a bit earlier (42 degrees celsius) so I could cook the non-skin side a bit longer but, as my wife declared, "I have never had skin like that." Innuendoes went through my head but I stayed quiet. Also works for white fleshed fish like snapper and barramundi - just make sure you use that thermometer. Thank you SeriousEats. I follow you for your burger and pizza stuff but I love you for this recipe. Dan

It has been 10 months since you ate that salmon, has it digested yet ?

I've never had salmon buckle. For a thick piece, I give it 6 minutes skin-side down and another 3 to 4 minutes on the other side. I then take the pan off the heat, throw a pat of butter in the pan to melt it, and I baste the salmon for another minute with the melted butter before plating. Removing the pan from the heat while basting prevents the butter from burning. The remaining butter in the pan gets drizzled onto the salmon. Also, there's no need to put any oil in the pan if you brush the salmon with oil prior to frying.

Just made this using the print recipe last night. It was grrreat !

Great short video! Thank you.

Tried it and it worked alot better this time the first piece was perfect the second piece of salmon was still cooked to the pan a little bit but much better than before !

I've been researching pan only recipes for hours. This has the best comments and reviews so I'll try it. Though I marinated my fish I'll still pat dry and probably reduce the marinade for a sauce. They also seem to be smaller than the ones in the video so I'll have to keep and eye on them. It's a shame I don't have a instant thermometer anymore. :(

I wouldn't necessarily equate it with tuna, which you generally want raw throughout with a hard sear on all sides. Salmon is much better rare or medium-rare throughout with only the skin seared hard. (Rare and raw are different things.)

guys an idiot. just score the skin side first so it doesn't buckle in the pan. if you were to try and press down with a god damn spatula like he does in this misleading video, your salmon will start breaking apart in the pan. he also cooked it on medium low (do not recommend that either) make sure the salmon hits the pan on HIGH heat so it immediately crisps the skin. ur welcome.

What temperature is "medium low"? I tried this on my in-laws new gas range and medium low had no sizzle. I brought it to medium, got a little sizzle, but the skin didn't get crispy and I got lot's of albumen. They only have non-stick skillets so maybe that makes a difference?

If those steaks are sold fresh, then maybe ask the monger to cut them in a style you prefer? And if not (frozen), don't forget to let them thaw in the fridge for a few hours! I know this sounds obvious, but then again, different things are obvious to different people.

I put my hand in a "claw" and use my fingers to press the fish quickly into the pan on the sides only. Make sure the sides are sealed as fast as posible then quickly and firmly but gently press middle.
