Description
A simple and flavorful recipe for salmon fillets seasoned with everything bagel seasoning and pan-seared to perfection. This dish features a crispy skin and tender, flaky flesh, ready to serve in just minutes.
Ingredients
Scale
Salmon
- 1 1/2 pounds salmon fillets
Seasoning & Oil
- 1 tablespoon everything bagel seasoning
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
Instructions
- Season the salmon: Spread the everything bagel seasoning evenly over the salmon fillets and gently press it down to ensure it sticks well to the surface.
- Heat the pan: Place a large skillet or pan on the stovetop over medium-high heat and add the olive oil. Allow the oil to heat until shimmering but not smoking.
- Cook skin side down: Carefully add the salmon fillets to the pan, skin side down. Let them cook undisturbed for 5 minutes to develop a crispy skin.
- Flip and finish cooking: Flip the salmon fillets and cook for an additional 4 to 6 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 145°F (63°C) as measured by a digital thermometer.
- Check doneness: The salmon is done when the flesh is opaque and flaky, no longer translucent, ensuring it is cooked through and safe to eat.
Notes
- Use a digital thermometer to guarantee perfectly cooked salmon.
- Pat the salmon dry before seasoning for better adhesion and crispier skin.
- Do not overcrowd the pan to ensure even cooking.
- Let the salmon rest for a couple of minutes after cooking for juices to redistribute.
