Monday Meals: Crispy Skin Salmon

Salmon is a great, healthy protein to pair with a salad or vegetable side for a simple but delicious dinner. In my house, we love to pair it with homemade pesto and zucchini noodles. It is an excellent source of protein, vitamins and minerals, and is a good source of omega-3 fatty acids. The skin provides beneficial collagen, protein and omega-3 fatty acids, but often gets discarded. I think the skin is the best part when it is cooked correctly, so if you have been reluctant to eat it in the past, try this recipe!

Ingredients

6 ounce fillet of salmon

1 tbsp coconut oil

Salt and pepper to season

Method

  1. Pat down salmon with a paper towel to remove excess moisture.
  2. Generously season both sides of the salmon with salt and pepper.
  3. Heat oil in a heavy-bottomed skillet over medium-high heat.
  4. Place salmon, skin side down in the skillet. Use your spatula to press the salmon skin flat against the pan. Turn heat down to medium.
  5. After approximately 6 minutes, carefully slide the spatula under the salmon. If it sticks, let it cook for a little bit longer.
  6. Flip the salmon and, depending on the thickness of your fillets, cook for another 1-2 minutes for rare, 2-3 for medium rare and 3-4 for medium.
  7. Serve skin side up with a wedge of lemon.

  1. […] Even without the salad and dressing, this roasted cauliflower is incredibly delicious and is a Sunday night regular in our house, accompanying nice piece of Crispy Skin Salmon. […]
