Today, it’s all about the best salmon recipes! We are breaking down everything you need to know about achieving perfectly cooked flaky fish every time. Like the different ways to cook salmon from baked salmon, to grilled salmon, to pan seared salmon and when to use each method. But first, let’s answer some frequently asked questions!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

How to cook salmon?<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Salmon can be cooked pretty much in every way, baked or broiled in the oven, grilled on a grill pan, gas or charcoal grill, and pan seared or steamed in parchment on the stove. Then there’s smoked salmon, which is delicious on a bagel, and raw sashimi grade salmon that’s perfect in a poke bowl.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

How long to cook salmon?<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Cooking times for salmon vary on many factors like the cooking method, the temperature, and the size of the fish. Because of this, the easiest way to be sure your salmon isn’t undercooked or overdone is by using a meat thermometer<\/a>. To check if your salmon is done, insert the thermometer into the thickest part of the fish. It’s ready when the internal temperature measures 125\u00b0 to 130\u00b0 F. Remember, the fish will continue cooking from the residual heat even after you’ve removed it from the heat source. You’ll never have to second guess if your salmon is fully cooked with this trick.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

One of the easiest ways to cook salmon is baking it in the oven. You can bake a whole filet and garnish it with tons of herbs and lemon wedges or flake off pieces from the fillet and use them in a curried salmon rice bowl<\/a>. Remember how long to bake salmon varies, so make sure to use a meat thermometer.<\/a> One of my favorite salmon recipes is steamed salmon in parchment<\/a> on the stove. This method<\/a> is great for two reasons, A) it doesn’t splatter and get your stove dirty, and B) your house won’t smell like fish.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Another method of cooking salmon in the oven is broiling. Broiling salmon cooks quicker than baking, and therefore, you’re less likely to end up with a dry filet of fish. Broiling salmon takes around 8-10 minutes, but it’s a good rule of thumb to always check with a thermometer<\/a> to make sure it’s done<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Grilling salmon is especially great when making salmon skewers<\/a> or cedar plank salmon<\/a>. Grill it over medium heat, and if grilling salmon with skin, start with the skin side down and after 3-5 minutes, flip it and continue cooking until an internal thermometer<\/a> measures 125\u00b0 to 130\u00b0 F. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Pan searing salmon guarantees and nice crispy sear. Here’s a few tips on how to make it. You want to start by preheating a pan<\/a> to medium-high heat. Pat the fish dry and season it with your favorite seasoning blend. Sear salmon in the tiniest bit of oil for a few minutes on each side, and DO NOT flip the fish until it releases from the pan. Then use it in a salad<\/a>, serve it up with some rice<\/a>, or even some succotash<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
