How to cook salmon in a pan

To prevent salmon from sticking to a frying pan, make sure the pan you’re cooking with is very hot. Pat the salmon dry on all sides with paper towel then preheat a neutral cooking oil (like canola oil or sunflower oil) until hot and shimmering then carefully place the salmon in the pan, skin-side down. If the salmon starts to curl up, gently press it down with a spatula to allow to the skin to make full contact with the pan.

Cook the salmon for 3-4 minutes on the skin side before flipping over and cooking for 1-2 minutes further. At this stage I remove the salmon from the pan and make the sauce but you could serve the salmon just like that with a squeeze of lemon if you want to keep it simple.

How long to cook salmon

Salmon is cooked when the flesh flakes easily. Salmon is best not overcooked so cooking for 3-4 minutes on the skin side and another 1-2 minutes on the flesh-side should result in perfectly cooked fish (depending on thickness).

      I like something like Sauvignon Blanc or Chenin Blanc. Chardonnay’s oakiness can be a little overpowering.
