Method
Step 1
If you want the skin to crisp up in the pan, it needs to be completely dry before you start cooking. Place the salmon fillets skin-side up on a plate and gently pat the skin with paper towel.
Step 2
A really hot pan is essential for getting the skin to go crispy, so preheat a frying pan on high. Spray the skin side with oil. Alternatively, spray the pan with oil before preheating.
Step 3
Seasoning does more than add flavour – the salt also draws out moisture from the skin so it crisps up quickly. Sprinkle the skin with sea salt flakes and freshly ground black pepper.
Step 4
Work quickly to crisp the skin without overcooking the salmon. Place skin-side down in pan and cook for 3 mins or until crispy. Turn and cook for 2 mins or until cooked to your liking.
