How To Cook Salmon Steaks With Skin
Give it a flip after 5 minutes.
How to cook salmon steaks with skin. You want the skin to have 100 per cent contact with the heat of the pan so that it will crisp. Start with hot coals and place a lightly oiled fish skin side down on the grate. Sprinkle the fillets lightly with salt and freshly ground black pepper.
Press the fillet against the skillet with your fish spatula and turn the heat down. When the oil is shimmering lay one fillet of salmon skin side down into the pan and immediately do two things. Cook the flipped salmon for another 5 minutes and check for doneness.
Place into oven and cook salmon for around 10 mins depending on the thickness of your salmon. If the flesh is sticking to the grate let it go another minute or two then try again. Heat a good sized frying pan over medium heat add the vegetable oil and when hot place the fish skin side down in the pan.
