- Serve with extra herb butter, fresh chopped parsley and lemon slices.
Notes
Atlantic or wild-caught salmon with the skin on.
The best pan is a cast-iron skillet or stainless steel pan as it conducts heat evenly. A nonstick skillet will work too but it doesn’t get as hot so the skin won’t get as crispy.
Use a meat thermometer to know when the salmon has reached 125-130 degrees for medium or 145 degrees for well done.
