How to Fry Salmon

If you love the great taste of salmon, but you don't want to be bothered with the heat of oven-cooking or all the smoke from grilling, pan-frying is an excellent alternative! Not only is it quick, but clean up is a snap! This guide will show you how to pan-fry or "sear" salmon.

Difficulty: Moderately Easy

Instructions

Things You'll Need:

• Salmon steaks
• Olive oil
• Salt
• Black pepper

1. Let the salmon warm to room temperature 10 minutes before cooking.

2. Add the oil and pre-heat a medium-sized skillet over medium-low heat.

3. Season the salmon steaks with salt and pepper.

4. Raise the skillet temperature to medium-high.

5. Place the salmon into the pan skin side up. Cook for approximately 4 to 5 minutes.

7. Once the salmon has finished cooking, transfer to a plate and serve.
