How to Cook Salmon in a Frying Pan

This salmon recipe is super easy, delicious and healthy!

Cooking salmon in a frying pan is a quick and easy way to prepare this delicious fish.

Whether you're cooking for one or for a group, this method is sure to yield a flavorful and healthy meal.

The key to perfect pan-fried salmon is to start with a hot pan, season the fish well, and cook it for just the right amount of time.

In this guide, we'll walk you through the steps for cooking salmon in a frying pan and offer tips for achieving the best results.

When cooking salmon in a frying pan, it's important to use a non-stick pan that is heated over medium heat.

This will prevent the fish from sticking to the pan and ensure that it cooks evenly.

Before adding the salmon to the pan, season it with salt and pepper on both sides.

This will help to bring out the natural flavors of the fish. Place the salmon in the pan skin side down and cook for 3-4 minutes, or until the skin is crispy.

Once the skin is crispy, carefully flip the salmon and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes on the other side.

This should be enough time to cook the fish through without overcooking it. To check if the salmon is done, use a fork to gently flake the fish.

If it comes apart easily, it's ready to be served. Serve the salmon hot, garnished with fresh herbs or a squeeze of lemon if desired.

With these tips, you'll be able to cook salmon in a frying pan with confidence, and enjoy a delicious and healthy meal.

This way it can be much faster than cooking it in the oven or in the air fryer but this depends on you and your taste!

With all the cooking methods they look good, you just have to choose the one that best suits you and enjoy it!
