Perfect Salmon - Crispy Tender Delicious
Best salmon around. Foolproof seven minute method to cook perfect salmon, scrod, cod, haddock, chicken breasts or pork tenderloin.
Equipment
- Oven with broil function.
- Oven safe pan.
Ingredients
- 1 lb fillet of salmon Skinned if preferred. Check for pin bones. (Do not substitute salmon steak.)
- 1 tbsp Purely Seasoning's Original Seasoned Salt
- 2 - 3 tbsp olive oil extra virgin
- 2 - 3 tbsp garlic minced
- ⅓ cup capers drained
- 1 - 2 lemons zested & juiced
- ⅓ - ½ cup white wine dry
Instructions
- With all ingredients ready, preheat pan on the stove top until smoking.
- Preheat broiler with rack on top shelf.
- Into hot pan, swirl olive oil to coat; then, with pan over high heat, quickly add garlic, capers, and 2/3 lemon zest. Top with salmon, skin side down. Immediately pour lemon juice over salmon, top with evenly distributed lemon zest, and coat with seasoned salt. Add wine to bring liquid half-way up the side of the salmon.
- When the liquid has come to a boil (this will happen very rapidly), place under the broiler for 7 minutes. A bit of crust will form on top and edges of the salmon and the liquid will reduce by about half, sometimes more. This will produce a lemony, moist, almost flaky (flaky is over-cooked) salmon that can be served immediately or at room temperature (or cold for salad.) If to be served at room temperature or cold, cool in the pan so that the fish will absorb all the remaining pan liquids.
