The beauty of this seared salmon dish, is it can be paired with any type of vegetables such as arugula, spinach, beans, capers, tomatoes, you name it. Whatever the combination, the outcome is always perfect.
Searing salmon is almost like searing steak. You can cook it medium rare, rare, or well done. It may sound tricky to do, but the truth is it is relatively easy. It is just like frying normal fish, but you should avoid overcooking it. Unlike other fish, salmon is ideal to serve fresh in dishes such as sushi and sashimi food.
To make seared salmon, set your timer and fry it for 3 -4 minutes on each side. This depends on how thick your salmon is. We use wild Alaskan salmon. It is about 3/4 of an inch thick which is perfect cooked for 3 minutes on each side. This will give you a medium rare salmon steak. Another tip is to not flipping the salmon more than once. Allow it to cook over medium heat. If you accidentally overcooked it, don’t worry, the taste fine. Squeeze some lemon squeeze over the top before serving. This makes it superb. Don’t forget this, as we highly recommend it. Make this dish today and enjoy.
