PAN SEARED SALMON

Steps:

• Remove the salmon from the refrigerator and let stand at room temperature for at least 10 minutes. With a paper towel, pat the fillets very dry on both sides.
• Heat the butter and oil in a 12-inch cast iron or heavy stainless steel skillet over medium-high heat until the butter foams and the foam subsides, about 3 minutes. It's important the pan is VERY hot before you add the salmon, or it won't crisp properly.
• Just before adding it to the pan, season the flesh side of the salmon with 1/2 teaspoon salt and pepper.
• Carefully place the fillets in the skillet, skin-side up, lowering them down away from you to protect yourself from splatters. Sprinkle the skin side of the salmon with a pinch of kosher salt.
• Let the salmon cook on the first side completely undisturbed until the flesh appears cooked about 3/4 of the way up the fillet, about 5 to 6 minutes.
• With a fish spatula or similar long, wide, flexible spatula, carefully flip the fillets. They should release easily from the pan; if they are sticking, the salmon most likely isn't ready yet. Let cook another 30 seconds or so, then try again.
• Reduce the pan heat to medium. Cook the salmon on the other side for 2 to 4 minutes more, until it is done to your liking (I remove the salmon at 130 degrees for medium). Remove to a plate and let rest 5 minutes. Squeeze lemon over the top and sprinkle with herbs. Serve hot or at room temperature.

PAN SEARED SALMON AND "CHIPS"

Steps:

• For the Fillets:.
• Heat Olive Oil in a small pan over medium heat.
• Lightly sprinkle seasonings over meat side of the fillet.
• Place Salmon meat side down in hot oil to sear flavorings into fillet. 2-3 minutes.
• Using tongs carefully flip Salmon to skin side down. Reduce heat to low/simmer and put lid over the pan.
• Let cook until meat is tender and flakes easily 5-10 minutes for thin fillets, longer if using thick cut fillet.
• Making more than one serving is simple and easy, just use a bigger pan! If making a bigger batch of these heat oven to 350, and once the fillet is seared place on a non stick pan with edges, once all fillets are seared place in oven for 5-10 minutes or so to finish the cooking!
• For the Chips:.
• Wash potato and slice into rounds.
• Place in microwave safe bowl and add butter, cover and microwave on high for aprox 4-5 minutes, or until all rounds are tender when pricked with fork.
• Toss rounds with BBQ seasoning (to taste) and Sea Salt.

PAN SEARED SALMON

• Preheat a large skillet on medium heat for 2 minutes. Add 1 tsp olive oil and then add salmon. Cook for 5 minutes per side. Salmon should be done, when it flakes easily with a fork.
• Transfer to plates. Serve with lemon wedges.

PAN-SEARED SALMON WITH A TANGY THAI SAUCE

Steps:

• To make the marinade/sauce, place all marinade ingredients together in a saucepan over medium-high heat. Stir as you bring the sauce to a boil.
• Reduce heat to medium and allow to simmer for 10 minutes, uncovered. The sauce will gradually thicken (the smell of the vinegar is rather pungent as it cooks). When marinade/sauce has thickened, place in the refrigerator or freezer to cool for 5 minutes.
• Place salmon fillets in a flat-bottomed pan or casserole dish (so that fillets aren't piled on top of each other). When the sauce/marinade has cooled (warm instead of hot), spoon 2 tablespoons over each fillet, 1 per side, slathering it over the flesh (reserve the remaining sauce for later). Marinate in the refrigerator 10 minutes or up to 24 hours.
• Place a frying pan or wok on medium-high heat, allowing it to warm up for at least 1 minute before adding the oil (this will help prevent the fish from sticking).
• When pan is hot, add 1-2 tablespoons oil, lifting and turning the pan to distribute evenly. Now place fillets in the pan.
• Allow salmon to fry at least 2 minutes undisturbed before turning. If you turn the fish too soon, it will stick. Instead, allow it to "sear", and it will come freely away from the bottom of the pan.
• Fry the fish 3-5 minutes per side, depending on the thickness of the fish. Salmon is done when inner flesh is no longer transparent. For faster cooking, cover fish while it's frying.
• To serve: arrange on a serving platter or plates. Spoon a little of the sauce over each fillet. Place the rest in a side dish and serve as a dipping sauce (it can be re-heated or served at room temperature).

• Heat remaining oil in a large pan over medium high heat. Cook fish skin side down for 3 minutes or until skin is crisp. Turn and cook for 1 or 2 minutes more or until cooked to your liking. Take care not to over cook and dry out the fish!
• Transfer the fish to a plate and cover loosly.
• Reduce heat to low, add cranberry jelly, chilli, sugar and fish sauce to pand. Simmer for 2 minutes then add 2 tablespoons lime juice and simmer 1 minute more.
