Best Pan Fried Salmon With Braised Little Gem Recipes

PAN-FRIED SALMON

Steps:

• Add the lime juice, lime zest, lemon juice, lemon zest, 3 tablespoons olive oil, parsley, cilantro, chives, garlic, shallot, capers, sugar and red pepper flakes into the jar of a blender. Pulse the ingredients until they are roughly chopped and begin to come together. Scrape down the sides with a spatula and continue to blend until smooth. Set aside until ready to use or transfer to an airtight container and refrigerate for up to a week.
• Season the salmon fillets all over with 1 teaspoon kosher salt and a generous amount of freshly ground black pepper.
• Heat the remaining 3 tablespoons olive oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add the salmon, skin-side up, and cook untouched until the edges crisp and turn golden brown, about 4 minutes. Flip and continue to cook until firm when pressed, about 3 minutes. Transfer to a serving platter and spoon the salsa verde on top. Serve immediately.

Steps:

• Bring the salmon to room temperature 10 minutes before cooking.
• Warm a large nonstick skillet with oil over medium-low heat. Season the fish with salt and pepper. Raise the heat to medium-high. Place the salmon, skin-side up in the pan.

Steps:

• Rinse the salmon under cool water and pat dry with paper towels.

• Flip the salmon with a spatula and season with salt and pepper. Reduce the heat to medium, cover and cook until the salmon is opaque throughout and flakes easily when you insert a paring knife between the layers, 7 to 9 minutes. Transfer the salmon to a plate.
• Reduce the heat to low. Add the garlic to the skillet and cook, stirring, until golden brown, about 30 seconds. Add the honey, soy sauce and vinegar and cook, stirring occasionally, until thickened, about 5 minutes. Return the salmon to the skillet and turn to coat in the sauce. Serve the salmon drizzled with the sauce.

Turn fillets over with a spatula and cook for an additional 1 or 2 minutes, depending on the thickness of the fillets. Season with salt and pepper.

Steps:

• Rinse the salmon fillets and pat dry thoroughly with paper towels; season with sea salt.
• Heat the oil in a skillet over medium-high heat.
• Gently lay the salmon into the hot oil with the skin side facing up and cook until the the flesh side is golden brown, 5 to 7 minutes; turn and continue cooking until the skin side is slightly browned, about 5 minutes more. Remove the salmon from the skillet, allowing any oil to drain from the fish back into the pan.
• Remove the skin from the salmon fillets; fry the skin in the oil remaining in the skillet until crispy, 2 to 3 minutes. Serve the crispy skin with the salmon.
