Salmon

  • Preheat your oven on the broil setting. Make sure the rack is 6-8 inches from your heat source so your salmon doesn't burn.
    Hand adjusting oven temperature dial to 160 degrees, focusing on precise cooking settings at home.
  • Bring your salmon filets to room temperature. Pat dry with a paper towel and season with salt and pepper.

  • In a large skillet or cast iron pan, heat your pan to medium high and add in your butter. I find a cast iron pan works best. Once the butter is melted, lower the heat to medium and cook for 3-4 minutes until the butter is a golden brown.
