How To Cook Salmon Recipes

HOW TO COOK SALMON

Steps:

• Rinse the salmon fillet with cold water and pat dry with paper towels.
• Brush or coat 1/2 tablespoon olive oil on both sides of the salmon.
• Sprinkle salt, freshly ground black pepper and smoked paprika on both sides of the salmon fillet.
• Heat up a pan on high heat. When the pan is fully heated, add the remaining 1/2 tablespoon olive oil. Cook the salmon for 2-3 minutes, uninterrupted.
• Turn the salmon over and cook the other side for another 2-3 minutes, or until the inside is just cooked through. DO NOT overcook so the salmon will be moist and juicy inside.
• Top the salmon with chopped parsley and serve immediately with lemon wedges. Squeeze lemon juice on top of the salmon before eating.

BAKED SALMON

Steps:

• Heat the oven to 180C/160C fan/gas 4. Brush each salmon fillet with the oil or butter and season well.
• Put the salmon fillets in an ovenproof dish. Cover if you prefer your salmon to be tender, or leave uncovered if you want the flesh to roast slightly.
• Roast for 10-15 mins (or about 4 mins per 1cm thickness) until just opaque and easily flaked with a fork. Serve with a sprinkling of chopped herbs, lemon slices and steamed long-stem broccoli, if you like.

BAKED SALMON

Steps:

• Pat salmon dry. Place in a greased 13x9-in. baking dish. Brush with butter. Combine remaining ingredients; pour over salmon. , Bake, uncovered, at 425° for 15-20 minutes or until fish flakes easily with a fork.

AIR FRYER SALMON

Steps:

• Combine the salt, pepper, mixed herbs and garlic granules, if using, in a bowl, then scatter onto a plate. Rub each salmon fillet with a little olive oil and roll in the seasoning to coat.
• Put in the air fryer basket in one layer and cook at 180C for 8-10 mins, until cooked through. If you have larger salmon fillets they will need to be cooked for longer - keep checking after 10 mins and cook in 1-2 min blasts, until ready. Serve with greens and quinoa or rice, if you like.
