Tasty Tips:

  • If needed, cook fillets in batches. 
  • If the salmon isn't pressed firmly into the pan, the edges may curl up, leaving some of the skin soft instead of crispy. 
  • After 8-10 min. of cooking, the salmon should release easily from the pan. If it sticks when you try to lift it, it's not ready.
  • This crispy-skin method works with many types of fish. Cod, snapper, barramundi and trout are all great alternatives.
