Whether you’re cooking for yourself or a family, there’s no reason to stuff yourself with takeout food every single day. The best way to cook a healthy, delicious dinner is to make it at home. After all, cooking with fresh ingredients takes time, but the results are worth the effort. With these easy salmon fillet recipes, you can start cooking delicious, nutritious meals at home—and avoid unhealthy, packaged meals.
Ingredients and step-by-step recipe
Once you have the ingredients, it’s time to make a salmon fillet. Start by rubbing the salmon fillet with olive oil. Season the fish with salt and pepper, and put it on a baking sheet. The salmon is cooked when it flakes easily with a fork. To make the sauce, mix all the ingredients together and pour into a bowl. You can serve the salmon with rice, spaghetti, or potatoes.
How to fry a salmon fillet
The first step is to remove the skin. For this, place the salmon fillet on a cutting board and remove the skin. Next, dice the fillet and place it in a bowl. To remove the bones, use your fingers to slide them out from the sides of the fillet. Then, dip the fillet in egg wash, which is egg combined with a small amount of water. Next, dredge the fillet in flour and season it with salt and pepper. Now, place it on a plate and keep it in the fridge while you prepare the rest of the dish. Soak a paper towel in vegetable oil and wipe the skin of the fillet. In a large skillet or saucepan, heat the oil over medium heat. Once the oil is hot, place the salmon in the pan and fry it for about 3 to 4 minutes per side.
The rest
As you can see, you don’t need to cook a salmon fillet with an oven at all. You can easily do this by simply baking it in the oven. First, find a piece of baking parchment that is big enough to completely wrap the salmon. Next, use a small knife to slice off both ends of the fillet. Then, open up the fillet and remove the skin. Next, lay the skin side down on the baking parchment. Wrap the fillet tightly and secure with string or a toothpick. This will keep the skin in place. Then, bake for about 15-20 minutes at 400 degrees, or until cooked through. Remember to check for doneness every few minutes. And you’re done!
Have your salmon ready to go
So your salmon is already cooked and ready to eat. You can serve it on a bed of brown rice, or with some bread to mop up the delicious flavour of the sauce. To keep the salmon nice and fresh, and to help retain the colour of the salmon, serve it on the day you cook it. You can also add a few slices of avocado to the salmon to add extra crunch and colour. If you like your salmon served with a crunchy side, you can serve it with steamed broccoli or cauliflower. However, if you prefer it with a softer side, you can serve it with a side of couscous or quinoa.
