How To Cook Salmon Without The Skin Sticking
If you re in the clear and are able to slide the spatula under the fish and give it a flip go for it.
How to cook salmon without the skin sticking. Cook until you can see the done line is nearing the center then gently turn over and cook to finish. While the oil is heating up season both sides of your salmon. Place your salmon in a baking dish coated with nonstick cooking spray.
You can also use aluminum foil or non stick baking sheets as an alternative to cooking spray. For a thinner fillet you might only need to cook the flesh side for about 1 minute. If using a grill or a pan sear salmon skin side down on high heat until the skin is crispy.
Heat a good amount of oil in a pan on the stove over medium to medium high heat. Adjust the heat so you hear a good sizzle but not any very loud sputtering and popping and allow the fish to cook and develop a nice sear. Place the fish skin side or prettiest side first in the pan and do not move it until it lets you.
Use a non stick pan if you re still afraid of the skin sticking.
