Ingredients needed 2 servings

Recipe

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.
  • Those preparing a special main course for a special occasion.
