The health benefits of salmon are widely known. Yet, not many people are familiar with the ways in which salmon can also benefit their diet. One of the ways that salmon can help your diet is by increasing your intake of heart-healthy omega-3 fats. Omega-3 fats are also a component of brain-building DHA. Additionally, salmon has more antioxidants than other fish. This is because it spends more time out of the water than other fish, as it is not fished up from the ocean floor as are many of the fish that consumers choose. Lastly, salmon is a good source of protein, which helps ward off hunger. Thus, when eating salmon, it can be a satisfying, healthy and delicious meal.

temperature

I usually cook salmon in a pan on my stovetop, but you can also cook it in a cast-iron skillet. This method involves cooking the salmon filet in the skillet over low to medium heat for 8 to 10 minutes.

Filling

“Fish and chips” may not be the first dish you think of when you are planning to cook salmon filet. However, once you try this dish, you will never think of fish and chips again. Fish and chips is a savory dish which may be served on a plate. But when cooked in a cast-iron skillet, the dish gets even more flavorful. This is because you can use the extra oil to cook the fish. Oil, especially good quality oil, is the secret to this dish. Use it to coat the fish and sprinkle it on the top of the fish filet. Then, flip the fish over and cook it. When you flip the filet, you will see the grease and oil soak into the top of the fish filet. The key to this dish is the type of oil you use.
