Easy salmon with Thai-style salad

Intro

0:02

music to my ears if you tend to shy away

0:05

from buying Seafood because you're not

0:06

confident in cooking it don't fear I'm

0:08

going to give you some tips to show you

0:10

how to cook salmon perfect two ways both

0:13

pan fried and oven roasted and always

0:15

with wonderful crispy skin whether it's

0:17

salmon or maybe you like white fish like

0:19

this beautiful baramundi cook it with a

0:21

skin on follow this same technique and I

0:23

guarantee you it will come out wonderful

0:25

every single time now if you open your

0:27

salmon and it's it's really moist just

0:30

grab yourself a little bit of paper

0:32

towel and just dab it like this dry skin

0:35

is really important just grab a sharp

0:37

knife pinch it together make a small

0:39

incision straight through that skin you

0:41

don't need to cut too deep into the

0:43

salmon you're just opening it up that's

0:45

going to allow the skin to get even

0:47

crisper then you season it nothing new

0:49

so far but I do have a trick coming up

0:51

so get ready season the other side now I

0:54

know what you're thinking preheat your

0:56

pan right get a nice hot pan no if this

0:59

was the pan and it was red hot and you

1:01

put your salmon in guess what happens it

1:03

goes like

1:05

this and then you're left with this big

1:07

pocket of skin that doesn't get crisp

1:09

what we're doing is starting it in a

1:11

cold pan we're going to bring that heat

1:13

up quickly but that Salmon's going to

1:15

relax into the pan which means that skin

1:18

is going to have full contact and it's

1:19

going to get super crispy a good

1:21

non-stick pan is super helpful tiny bit

1:24

of oil and then you pick up the salmon

1:26

move it around spreading that little bit

1:28

of oil in the bottom of the pan take it

1:30

over to your stove stick it on high and

1:32

it'll take about 2 minutes before you

1:34

hear it Sizzle in and then 5 minutes

1:36

before you've got that skin perfectly

1:38

crisp you can literally hear it start to

1:40

sizzle notice how much fat there is in

1:42

the pan right now and then have a look

1:44

back in a few minutes and you'll see

1:46

quite a bit of that fat will render out

1:48

of the salmon as it Cooks I know the

1:49

Temptation right you hear that you're

1:51

wondering what's happening underneath

1:53

and you think do I get my Turner do I

1:55

have a little Peak just be confident

1:57

once it starts sizzling you've probably

1:59

got a good 3 minutes before it's get

2:01

into that deep golden brown so the less

2:04

you mess with it the better now you can

2:06

see some of that fat rendering out of

2:07

the salmon wonderful it's been about 5

2:10

minutes total since it's been in the pan

2:12

that is exactly what you're looking

2:15

for now if you're going to oven roast

2:17

the salmon you just remove it from the

2:19

pan stick it onto a little tray like

2:21

this and then it goes back in the oven

2:22

for about 3 minutes that's all it needs

2:25

and it'll be cooked all the way through

2:26

and you'll keep that perfect crispy skin

2:32

you remove the pan from the heat you go

2:35

ahead and dress whatever it is that you

2:37

want to serve with it some salad some

2:39

veggies you serve it with a little wedge

2:41

of lemon or two crispy skin perfectly

2:45

cooked salmon it doesn't get any better

2:46

but my mouth watering so I'm sorry I'm

2:48
