Salmon Recipe – quick and easy cooked salmon fillet

My favorite salmon recipe calls for crisping the fish skin on the stove top then finishing the salmon fillet in the oven under the broiler. This is a simple salmon dish with just a bit of oil and seasoning and a maple glaze to add a hint of sweetness. Honey can be substituted for the maple syrup, or this step can be skipped entirely. I often season salmon with just salt and pepper and then cook the salmon fillet in the same manner.

How To Cook Salmon Recipe

• Wash the salmon filet and pat dry with a paper towel.
• Coat the salmon with olive oil, skin side as well.
• Generously season fish.
• Using an oven safe skillet, on med. high heat, heat a little oil on the stove top. Check current prices for a stove top and oven safe cast iron skillet on Amazon.
• When oil is hot, add salmon fillet skin side down and cook about 3 minutes.
• Transfer the skillet to the oven and continue cooking the salmon under the broiler for 2-3 minutes –adjust time depending on the size of the fillet.
• When the salmon is almost finished cooking, apply a glaze of maple syrup, and continue broiling for final minute. If you don’t have a nice syrup
  on hand, substitute honey.
• Remove skillet from the stove and transfer fish to a plate.
