Pan Seared Salmon II

  4.6 – 26 reviews  • Salmon Fillet Recipes

I enjoy eating Biscoff cookies. The addition of the cinnamon chips adds a small surprise that makes these cookies taste exactly like the ones in the carton. I have never baked anything like them. Try them if you’re searching for something novel, distinctive, and incredibly tasty. These cookies will have softer centers and edges that are similar to crunchy sand.

This is a simple dish to make and the combination of foods taste delicious together. I added a side of rice to our plate, and I add broccoli to our peppers since my 2.9 yo foster daughter loves it that way.
Ashley Marquez
I followed other suggestions and did everything in the same pan. Very yummy

Made recipe almost as written, but lightly seasoned the fillets with the basics — salt and pepper, which I think saved this dish a little. Something was missing. The cooking directions are off, but it could be a personal preference. Please do not pour raw garlic + lemon over finished salmon. I don’t know anyone who cares for raw garlic and would add the garlic to the oil just before adding the salmon to let it infuse with the butter (or oil if you sub), or add the garlic with the bell peppers in step two. Then, add lemon juice towards the end of cooking salmon or just before serving. Otherwise, the fish was bland for us and in need of something more. I will have to play with the 2 leftover fillets tonight to fix seasoning while trying to avoid drying them out.

I made this all in one pan. I like garlic so I quickly sautéed garlic before putting the salmon in to pan fry. The peppers, garlic and lemon were added and all cooked along with the salmon. The flavors mixed well and it was all good. I served sautéed jalapeño peppers with lemon wedges for those who wanted a bit of a kick. My guests loved it!

Made this for my husband and he loves it, said it should be in a restaurant.
Robert Lawrence
Quick and easy delicious main dish!
John Howell
Recipe lacked some direction, but overall good substance. Turned out great. I added some salt and pepper while pan searing. As well as a bed of brown rice to lay it on. Added as a side dish asparagus and cherry tomatoes with Parmesan cheese.
James Morris

Stephen Miller
Very good also with almonds, without garlic.
Bryan Young
Excellent flavor combo! This was easy and fast to prepare and was very good. I substituted olive oil, garlic powder, and lemon juice so I wouldn’t have to run out to the store, but it was very good. I would highly recommend this recipe.
Alexander Butler
SO great! Our family of 6 loved it! Great with allrecipies.com Carrot Rice! Thanks, Eliza!

First I have to say that this was my first time to have salmon. I didn’t like it, but my husband did. We skipped the bell peppers. The lemon/garlic sauce is a must for flavor. It is NOT spicy as the description states though.
Sharon Pierce
This salmon is absolutely delicious. Seriously easy and has so much flavor. It deserves five stars for sure.
Bryan Hampton
I only had salmon patties from Trader Joes on hand and applied it to this recipe. Used other suggestions of using on pan and all I can say is YUMMMM!!!! My 5 yr old helped out and ate 1/2 of my patty. I served it on a bun with the peppers topping the patty. YUM, YUM….
Scott Small
This was really really good. the best part of it was the skin- it was crispy and flavorful!
Mr. Michael Garcia
Very tasty, plus quick and easy to prepare.
Jennifer Russell
This salmon was delicious– browned on the outside, moist on the inside, and surprisingly flavorful. I don’t think I’d call it “spicy” with bell peppers (I could imagine that hot peppers could be substituted for some fire) but I liked it as it is. I made some changes: I cooked my salmon and peppers in the same skillet (first the salmon, then the peppers) and the same olive oil– this helped the flavors mingle. I also sprinkled kosher salt and fresh ground pepper on the salmon before searing it. Finally, I crushed three cloves of garlic and put them right into the olive oil. I really liked the flavor this lent. The best thing about this recipe was how quick it was: the salmon took about 5 minutes to cook, and was very flavorful without ever marinating!
Kelly Lopez
Amazingly simple, and oh so delicious! I will be making this one again, and as often as the kids will let me by with it. Thank yoy so much for this wonderful recipe.
Sarah Thompson
Very nice. But two skillets? You can easily put in the peppers, oil, garlic and lemon while the salmon is frying… I did. And it wanted a quater cup of heavy cream for a smoother, less oily sauce.
Matthew Thomas
This recipe is really easy and simple, which was exactly what I’m looking for. I added a bit of parsley and the result was delicious!
Denise Edwards
This is so good with roasted rosemary potatoes and some fresh bread to sop up the juices. Repeat recipe!
