Our secret to Salmon

Salmon might be the protein that I like to experiment more than any others. With that said, I have found a way to accomplish a great taste that never goes wrong.
No matter how big or small the piece that you will be cooking is, try this next time you are going to cook salmon;


  • Warm up the oven at 350 degrees while you do this next step.
  • In a non-sticky pan cover it with a thin layer of olive oil and place on a medium heat. When oil is warm (not hot) place the unseasoned salmon (face down, meaning pink side down and gray side facing up) on the pan and let it sear for about 45 seconds or until it is slightly golden ( you don't want to cook it!). Make sure the salmon doesn't stick to the pan, that way it wont loose its form.
  • Have a oven safe dish ready to place the seared salmon and any spaces that you want to put on top. In the image below I coated the salmon with finely cut cilantro, green shallots, salt and pepper and lemon.
  • Cover the dish with thin foil and let it cook for 12-15 minutes (the time really depends on the salmon thickness, rule of thumb is 10 min per inch of thickness) 



Enjoy!
