See RecipePat the salmon skin dry, season it well, and start by cooking it skin-side down in a very hot pan with some oil. Do not move the salmon until the skin releases easily and is golden and crisp.
Use a cooking thermometer and remove the salmon from the heat when it reaches an internal temperature of 145°F. Let it rest for a few minutes before serving, as the residual heat will continue to cook the fish.
Cooking salmon with the skin on helps retain moisture. If you prefer not to eat the skin, it's easier to remove it after the fish is cooked.
Marinating salmon can enhance its flavor and moisture. Acidic ingredients in the marinade, like vinegar or citrus juice, also help to tenderize the fish.
Incorporate ingredients like soy sauce, ginger, sesame oil, miso, and scallions into your marinades, glazes, and sauces to give salmon a distinctive Asian flair.
