Simple Pan Fried Salmon Recipes

Steps:

• Melt butter in a large, heavy skillet over medium heat. Pour in lemon juice and swirl the skillet to mix melted butter and lemon juice.
• Place salmon fillets, flesh side down, in the pan and cook until browned, about 3 minutes. Spoon lemon butter over the top of the fillets as they cook. 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:

• 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:

• Heat oil to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C) in a cast iron skillet over medium heat.
• Whisk cornmeal, flour, seasoned salt, lemon pepper, kosher salt, and white pepper together in a medium bowl.
• Crack eggs into a separate bowl; beat about 10 seconds. Dip salmon fillet into the eggs and coat completely. Dredge salmon in the cornmeal mixture to cover completely. Shake off excess.
• Lower salmon carefully into the hot oil in batches of 2 or 3. Fry, flipping halfway, until a golden brown crust forms, 8 to 10 minutes. Transfer to a plate lined with 3 to 4 sheets of paper towels to drain. Repeat with remaining salmon.

Steps:

• Season salmon with salt and black pepper.
• Heat olive oil in a nonstick skillet over medium-low heat. Place salmon skin-side up in the skillet.
• Cook until golden brown, about 4 minutes. Turn with a spatula and cook until salmon feels firm to the touch and skin is crisp, about 3 minutes more.

Steps:

• Sprinkle salmon with a moderate to generous amount of salt. Pepper as desired.
• Lightly coat salmon in flour on a plate.
• Place salmon in heated skillet over medium heat coated with roughly equal parts oil and butter (slightly more butter). It should start cooking at a slow to medium sizzle.
• Cover with a lid and cook until lightly browned, 4-5 minutes.
• Turn salmon, put lid back on, and reduce heat slightly. Cook another 5-7 minutes or until done.
• Can remain in pan with lid on and heat off for a little while until ready to serve.

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. Cook until golden brown on 1 side, about 4 minutes. Turn the fish over with a spatula, and cook until it feels firm to the touch and the skin is crisp if desired, about 3 minutes more.
• The skin can be served or removed easily with a knife or spoon.
• Transfer to a plate and serve as desired.

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:

• Heat oil in a nonstick skillet.
• Season salmon with salt and pepper.
• Lay the salmon on the skillet and watch the color rise to about two-thirds of the way up the salmon. Flip the salmon once and cook until done to taste, roughly 2-4 minutes longer.
• Serve with lemon and thyme (optional).
• Enjoy!

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.
