The fastest way to cook salmon? In the pan, with photos and videos to make no mistake!


Pan-fried salmon

Pan-fried salmon is a second fish dish that is as simple as it is quick to prepare. Here is our perfect recipe for steaks and fillets.

We are always in a hurry and too often we fall back on ready-made and packaged dishes due to lack of time. In fact, who wants to get in the kitchen after a day spent between work, children and household chores? That's why we thought we'd tell you how we do it, revealing the recipe for pan-fried salmon. Fish main courses , in fact, are usually snubbed due to the belief that they are difficult and long to prepare. Once you try the pan-fried salmon steak, however, you will realize that this is not the case!

You can prepare it with fresh or frozen fish (taking care to let it defrost in the refrigerator) and very few ingredients are enough to naturally enhance its flavour. We will use the steak but similarly, you can also cook the salmon fillet in a pan, perfect for the little ones. Let's go to the stove following the photo steps or the video recipe to prepare it at home (if you want at the end you can also sprinkle a few drops of lemon on the meat just like we do).

We advise you to taste the freshly made salmon but if you have any leftovers you can keep it in the refrigerator for a couple of days. It will tend to dry out a bit, so you can turn it into an excellent pasta sauce, perhaps by adding a little cream.
