Pan Seared Salmon Recipes

Steps:

• Preheat a large heavy skillet over medium heat for 3 minutes.
• Coat salmon with olive oil. Place in skillet, and increase heat to high. Cook for 3 minutes. Sprinkle with capers, and salt and pepper. Turn salmon over, and cook for 5 minutes, or until browned. Salmon is done when it flakes easily with a fork.
• Transfer salmon to individual plates, and garnish with lemon slices.

Steps:

• In a medium skillet, heat the oil over medium-high heat. Season the salmon fillets evenly with the salt and place each fillet flesh-side down in the hot skillet. Cook until deep golden brown, about 3 minutes. Sear the sides of the fillets for 1 minute on each side. Using a fish spatula, flip the fillets so the skin side is down and cook an additional 2 minutes. Add 1 tablespoon of the butter and the oregano sprigs to the skillet and reduce the heat to medium. Baste the salmon fillets with the infused butter for 1 minute. Remove the salmon and oregano sprigs to a plate to rest.
• In the same skillet over medium heat, add the artichoke hearts and shallots. Cook, stirring often with a wooden spoon, until the shallots are softened and the artichokes are beginning to brown, about 4 minutes. Add the chopped oregano and tomatoes and stir to combine. Deglaze the skillet with the white wine and allow the wine to cook down until reduced by half. Stir in the remaining 1 tablespoon butter and the spinach. Cook until the spinach is just barely wilted. Spoon the vegetables onto a platter and top with the rested salmon. Spoon any remaining sauce over the fish and serve.

Steps:

• In a bowl combine 1 tbsp olive oil, salt, pepper, garlic, lemon jiuce and dill and add salmon fillets. Let them marinate for 15 minutes at room temperature.
• Preheat a large skillet on medium heat for 2 minutes. Add 1 tsp olive oil and then add salmon. Cook for 5 minutes per side. Salmon should be done, when it flakes easily with a fork.
• Transfer to plates. Serve with lemon wedges.

Steps:

• Heat a large non-stick pan over high with olive oil. Liberally season salmon with salt and pepper. Place skin side down in pan and reduce heat to medium-low. Do not move fillets. Allow to cook about 7 minutes or until well browned and cooked about three quarters of the way through. Turn fillets and cook about 3 minutes more, or until still just barely pink in the center. Serve immediately, with the skin side up.

Steps:

• 1. Season the fish on both sides with salt and pepper. Heat 3 tablespoons of the olive oil in a saute pan. Place the salmon, skin-side down, in the pan and cook (without moving the fish) until the skin is crispy, about 4 to 5 minutes. Reduce the heat, turn the salmon, and continue to cook for another 3 to 4 minutes.
• 2. Meanwhile, heat the remaining tablespoon oil in another saute pan over medium heat. Add the garlic, shallots, and leek; saute for 3 to 5 minutes until the leak begins to soften.
• 3. Add the cannellini beans and the wine; bring to a gentle simmer. Add the butter. Season to taste with salt and pepper.

Steps:

• Bring the salmon to room temperature 10 minutes before cooking.
• Meanwhile, whisk together the lemon juice, 2 tablespoons of the olive oil and 1/4 teaspoon salt in a large bowl. Add the kale, toss to coat and let stand 10 minutes.
• While the kale stands, cut the dates into thin slivers and the apple into matchsticks. Add the dates, apples, cheese and almonds to the kale. Season with pepper, toss well and set aside.
• Sprinkle the salmon all over with 1/2 teaspoon salt and some pepper. Heat the remaining 1 tablespoon oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-low heat. Raise the heat to medium-high. Place the salmon, skin-side up in the pan. Cook until golden brown on one side, about 4 minutes. Turn the fish over with a spatula, and cook until it feels firm to the touch, about 3 minutes more.
• Divide the salmon, salad and rolls evenly among four plates.

Steps:

• Preheat the over to 200 degrees. .
• Season salmon fillets with salt and pepper.
• Preheat 2 tablespoons olive oil to smoking over medium high heat in a nonstick 12 inch skillet.
• Place the fillets in the skillet (flesh side down if skin is on) for five minutes. Don't move them around. Wait to form a nice caramelized crust.
• Place seared fillets (flesh side "up" if skin is on) in a baking dish and put on the middle rack of your 200 degree oven for about 15 minutes. This will be long enough for the salmon to cook all the way through.
• Carefully wipe out the skillet with paper towels and put back on medium high heat. Add 1 tablespoon olive oil and heat until it shimmers.
• Add the couscous to the skillet and stir over the heat until the grains are toasted and light brown. (This is a little tricky. This can go from "raw" to "burnt" in about 2 minutes once the first grains turn tan).
• When the grains are toasted, add the shallots, lemon zest and minced garlic; stir and cook until fragrant ( 30 secs to 90 secs).
• Add the water to the skillet (slowly to avoid splattering) and let the mixture come to a boil. Cover the skillet and let cook for about 12 minutes (long enough for the couscous to absorb all the liquid).
• Once the salmon is in the oven and the skillet full of cous cous is simmering, make a lemon scented chive flavor "drizzling oil" by whisking together 2 tablespoons olive oil, the lemon juice and the minced chives. (This sauce makes the dish.).
• When salmon is cooked through and couscous has absorbed all the liquid, add the frozen peas to the cous cous and remove from heat. The peas will defrost in a couple of minutes (golden raisins work well, too).
• Serve the salmon fillets on beds of couscous and pour a bit of the drizzling lemon-oil over each serving. Salt and pepper to taste.

Steps:

• (If salmon is frozen thaw before using). Start by heating up a frying pan with a little oil (do not let it smoke) you may wish to put some finely chopped garlic in it but don't let it burn.
• Lay salmon out on a plate and sprinkle with salt and pepper on both sides to taste.
• When the pan starts to smoke just a little bit, put in the salmon. Cook for about 2 minutes turning it half way through the cooking time.
• Serve. Goes well with asparagus and hollandaise sauce.

Steps:

• Generously season the salmon fillets with salt and pepper. Put the oil and butter in a non-stick frying pan over a medium heat, swirling around the pan until melted and foaming, then turn up the heat. Once the butter starts bubbling, add the salmon fillets to the pan, skin-side-down, and fry for 3 mins until crisp. Flip the fillets over, lower the heat and cook for 2 mins more, then drizzle with the lemon juice. Transfer the salmon to a plate and baste with any of the buttery juices left in the pan.

Steps:

• Drizzle olive oil into a medium skillet over medium-high heat.
• In a small bowl, combine spices. Season all sides of salmon filets. Add to skillet when oil is glistening hot.
• Cook for 5-7 minutes on each side or until a crispy, thin brown outside layer forms and fish flakes easily when fork-tested. Do not over-cook, or salmon will be tough.

Steps:

• Rub the salmon steaks on all sides with olive oil.
• Combine all herbs and seasonings in a small bowl.
• Sprinkle mixture over salmon on all sides.
• Place salmon in a screaming hot frying pan and cook for 3-4 minutes on each side or until both sides are lightly browned and crisp. Keep pan covered. Do not overcook, as fish will turn out dry.

Steps:

• Heat dressing in large nonstick skillet on medium heat. Add fish and peppers; cook on medium heat 8 min. or until fish flakes easily with fork, turning after 4 min. and occasionally stirring peppers.
• Add broccoli, green onions and nuts. Cook 1 to 2 min. or until heated through, stirring occasionally.

Steps:

• Coat fish with mustard. Heat oil in medium skillet on medium-high heat. Add fish; cook 3 min. on each side or until browned on both sides. Remove fish from skillet; cover to keep warm.
• Add onions and garlic to skillet; cook 3 min., stirring occasionally. Add all remaining ingredients except 1 Tbsp. parsley. Cook 5 min.; stir. Top with fish; cover. Cook 4 to 5 min. or until fish flakes easily with fork.
• Sprinkle with remaining parsley.

Steps:

• In a medium bowl, combine all ingredients except the salmon. Stir to make a paste.
• Rub the paste to evenly cover the salmon fillets. Place on a plate, cover with plastic wrap, and refrigerate for 5 minutes up to 2 hours.
• Preheat a 10" nonstick pan over medium high heat. Spray with oil and add salmon. Cook 2 minutes per side, then lower heat to medium. Continue cooking until inside is no longer translucent, about 3 minutes per side. Enjoy!
