How to cook deliciously - Pan-Seared Salmon
1. Stage
In a large skillet, heat the oil over medium-high heat. At the same time, while waiting for the skillet to come to temperature, blot the salmon with a paper towel to remove any excess moisture. Sprinkle the fillets with Italian seasoning and salt. Editor's Tip: Before cooking, always check your salmon for freshness. From the sniff test to how it looks, here's how to tell if salmon is bad.
2. Stage
Transfer the salmon fillets to the hot skillet, carefully placing skin side down. Reduce the heat to medium. Cook until the fish begins to flake easily with a fork, about five minutes per side. Editor's Tip: Pan-searing helps lock in moisture and prevent your salmon from drying out. For that coveted crispy crust, do not disturb the salmon as it cooks. Yep, that means no peeking!
3. Stage
In a small bowl, combine the yogurt, mayonnaise, cucumber and dill. Plate up your perfectly pan-seared salmon, and drizzle it with a few teaspoons of that creamy, dreamy sauce.
