SO easy and SO yummy! This is going in our favorites!
It was good I used olive oil and salt and pepper
I Loved it Was amazing I used different seasonings like lemon pepper to be honest I love allrecipes
A good, basic method for those needing guidance in how to cook salmon, or if you need to precook salmon for another recipe. You could totally use whatever seasonings you prefer. The cook time was spot on for 3/4″ thick filets, BUT you really need to cook them at medium, not medium-low, to get any sort of color.
Sometimes I change up the seasoning and instead of salt and pepper, I’ll use Old Bay seasoning, or Dill and garlic powder. Just depends on what mood I’m in when at the spice rack! Cooking method is same as the recipe and always turns out great!
I made this and my husband and I really liked it. I did follow the recipe however I added a few other spices. After I added the olive oil to the skillet, I also added a shake of salt, tiny bit of black pepper, a shake of dry basil and a shake of garlic powder. I then added the 3 – 6oz salmon filets to the skillet. I repeated the same added spices this time over the 3 salmon filets. I cooked 8 minutes, then turned the filets and cooked 5-7 minutes . I’ll make this again soon.
