Quick cooking, not-too-expensive, and super satisfying, salmon fillets are a weeknight dinner slam dunk—and our go-to method for making them is pretty much un-mess-up-able.
If the idea of cooking skin-on fish makes you nervous, do this in an ovenproof nonstick pan. The skin won’t get quite as crisp, but you won’t have to worry about it sticking.
Ask your fishmonger to fillet the fish for you, remove the skin and pin bones, then hack up the bones. That’s why they’ve got the waterproof apron and stainless steel equipment back there, right? The size of the individual whole fishes doesn’t matter—just make sure you have about 7 pounds total.
It doesn’t get easier than this salmon and shiitake mushroom mixed rice dish that comes together in a single pot. Don't forget the scallion seasoning sauce.
When it comes to achieving that perfectly cooked fillet with flawlessly crisped skin—so seemingly effortless when served at a restaurant—something usually goes wrong. The fish sticks. The skin rips. The flesh overcooks. But when you master this simple and reliable technique you’ll never go out for fish again.
There’s no centerpiece quite as dramatic than a salt-baked fish. It’s all about making a tight seal with the salt crust—it forms a mini-oven around the fish, keeping the flavors of the aromatics inside. Add just enough water to the salt until it feels like very wet sand. To test it out, pack a little in the palm of your hand; if it holds its shape without cracking, you’re good to go. (If not, add more water.)
