      Once when my sis came home and was burnt out from doing her thesis all week long I thought hey i bet she would like to eat something after she wakes up from her nap so I looked at what we have and saw that we had salmon belly and asparagus. So I baked those and set the timer and went to the bathroom and meme thinking I wont burn these cause it's on a timer but my sis apparently woke up from the smell, looked for the food and decided that she wants crispy salmon and turned the heat up. After I finished looking at memes I came to the kitchen to a overcooked asparagus and crispy salmon

    Chef here.
    We use a carbon steel pan to cook all of our fish. It's very similar to cast iron, though not nearly as heavy. It's the same stuff most good woks are made out of. They get very hot very quickly for a perfect seal and have a nice nonstick coating that can take a beating much better than a nonstick pan.
    Some other keys to making it not stick: pat the fish dry with paper towels before seasoning. The dry skin will sear better and get you a better crust.
    Also, when setting it in the pan, it's important to place the fish down and away from you. Any oil that splatters won't burn you if you drop it away from you.
    Once I drop the fish, I wiggle the pan for the first 10-20 seconds and swirl the fish around. This will start cooking the flesh and create a little barrier to keep it from sticking. This makes it MUCH easier to flip and get a pretty presentation. In a nice place, the seafood dish is likely one of the more expensive items on the menu, your guests will get pissed if the piece is broken up. Its not crucial in home cooking, but if you're trying to impress people or make food for the gram, you'd want to takencare not to beat up the presentation side.
    You can also use the wiggle method to test if it's ready to flip. if you wiggle the pan and the fish doesn't move, it's stuck. A rubber spat can help get it unstuck and then we use a fish spatula or a flat spat to flip.
    If you don't have enough color or the color is uneven, you can throw some butter into the pan and baste it with a spoon. The French term is for the basting technique is arroser.
    In the restaurant, we sear the fish until golden brown and flip and finish in the oven. This allows the Sautee cook to finish the sauce and the side items while the salmon finishes cooking and is pretty much the standard way ALL sautéed meats get finished.
    You can throw even cheap pans with plastic handles in the oven. If they're heat resistant enough to not melt on the range, a 350 degree oven for 5-10 minutes won't hurt them (though your legal team might have issues with you saying this In your video). That being said, I wouldn't throw a plastic handle in the oven for a braise or something that needed to cook for an hour. Be careful, the handle will be HOT af when you take it out of the oven.

    Cool tip. Before flipping give the salmon a nudge from the side. If it won't move it is not ready to be flipped. Once it gets a nice sear, it will release from the pan and flip easily. I also start with a medium heat and lower it after a minute. This gives you time for a nice sear without overcooking.

    My favorite way to do salmon is the butter basting method, but I also add parsley and use minced garlic rather than powder. Then after I take the salmon out I dump mushrooms into the buttery oily goodness and add a little more lemon juice and some white wine vinegar. It's so good. Good enough for me to put up with descaling the fish, which my local place bafflingly doesn't do.

    That tail piece was the collar, and the flat piece was the tail. Also, good on you for not just saying farmed is bad and moving on. Farmed salmon, depending on where you get it, is probably the best type of meat you can consume. It is very, very good for you. Just dont buy any american farmed seafood. Believe it or not, american farmed seafood is the kind of crap people make conspiracies about. And, even though china might be questionable with everything else... their shellfish is the best. Their water can be gross, but american markets will not buy from such areas.
    Also, unless you are buying frozen sushi (legitimate frozen sushi) the parasites are not dead. The reason I say this is 2 things. 1st, I have seen parasites come out of still frozen fillets many times. 2nd, properly frozen sushi must be frozen at a much colder temperature to make it safe to eat. All sushi is like that, at least in america. That is the ONLY thing america does right when it comes to seafood.
    I was a fishmonger for yrs.
    American farms have gotten infinitely better these days, just updating this post because people seem to think there is a conspiracy to kill them with fish!

    You might want to try out something that we call "Treasure Chest Salmon" in Norway. All it needs is some aluminum foil, salmon and chopped vegetables. Wrap it all up in the foil, sitck it in an oven and you're done after it's all cooked through. It's a great way of introducing kids to fish as salmon is one of the less fishy tasting fish you can easily get a hold of. They get to learn cooking, and it's something that's easy for them to understand and enjoy since they would be part of the cooking process.

      papillote is the French term for steaming a piece of meat or fish in an aluminium foil wrap, I think. And this is made for a combination of salmon and cod, imo, getting some fat into the cod, and making the salmon a little less fatty. Perfect with some red onion, red beets or carrots, leak and garlic.

    I usually just do a simple salmon teriyaki when I eat salmon. I'll cook a salmon fillet skin side down for about 4 minutes at medium high heat, then turn it over and cook it for about another minute or two, bring the heat all the way down, add in the teriyaki sauce and baste both sides of the fillets with the sauce. After that's all done I'll leave it skin side down in the pan as I prep the plate/bowl. I like to eat it over Jasmine rice with some broccoli.
    Personally I don't add any extra salt or pepper to it, although I will add some red chili flakes. This is because for myself at least, I don't notice when I add salt or pepper to the salmon fillets because teriyaki sauce is such a strong flavor.

    I'm not much of a cook, but after watching someone in a grocery store demonstrate one salmon dish, I gave it a try.
    This one involved cooking a much longer salmon filet with curry, creme fraiche and mango chutney.
    Not much of a fan of curry dishes but this one was absolutely delicious. You might want to give that one a try.
    Your videos are excellent, informative, and entertaining. Thanks.

    Another trick you can use if you only have stainless steel is that you can place a piece of parchment paper on the pan and cook it how you would normally do it on a pan. It saves clean up time especially if you've marinated the salmon beforehand (eg. miso glazed salmon)

  • @N1120A

    Honestly, one of the best ways to cook salmon that I only really learned recently, is to poach it. Take a large skillet (I use a ceramic Green pan) that has a cover. Heat half a cup of white wine and half a cup of water, with enough fresh slice shallots to create a bed for your salmon. Add dill, salt, maybe some ginger. Bring to a simmer on medium heat. Set the salmon, skin side down, on the shallots. Cover. You have perfectly done salmon in a grand total of 10 minutes from starting the pan to finish. This doesn't make your house smell and it actually tastes really good cold, so you can meal prep it.

    One of my best recipes and by far EASIEST is salmon if you have a grill.
    Simply wrap in some tin foil (sprayed with nonstick/butter), season with salt/pepper, and put a pad of butter and 2 lemons on top. In the grill for ~15 minutes depending on the size of the fillet at around 400 and it comes out perfect every time.
    Virtually 0 clean up as you just dump the melted butter on the fish and throw it away, and is easily one of the best-tasting things I can personally make consistently. Can be done in the oven too, but then the house smells fishy, and I just find the grill a bit easier/faster.
