Cooking tips

When placing the salmon skin-side down in the pan, press it firmly for roughly a count of 10 at the start to prevent the skin from shrinking and trapping moisture or curling up.
Cooking over high heat will overcook the flesh and make it dry, so use medium-low heat to slowly render the fat from the skin.
After cooking, let the salmon rest so the juices redistribute evenly throughout the flesh, giving you a much more moist texture.

Recommended for

Those who struggle with soggy skin or dry flesh when cooking salmon at home.
Those who want to master the butter basting technique to perfectly cook elegant fish dishes.
