WHITE WINE GARLIC SALMON
This is the kind of easy, weeknight dinner recipe I fall back on time and time again. This salmon takes no more than 15 minutes to make from start to finish. And the end result is always super juicy, flaky salmon in the most delicious white wine garlic sauce.
I love serving the salmon with steamed greens or crispy potatoes. That sauce would be perfect over rice pilaf and a nice salad wouldn’t be out of place either. It’s a great recipe to have in your arsenal and will have your family licking their plates, guaranteed!
HOW TO COOK SALMON IN A PAN
To prevent salmon from sticking to a frying pan, make sure the pan you’re cooking with is very hot. Pat the salmon dry on all sides with paper towel then pre-heat a neutral cooking oil (like canola) until hot and shimmering then carefully place the salmon in the pan, skin-side down. If the salmon starts to curl up, gently press it down with a spatula to allow to the skin to make full contact with the pan.
Cook the salmon for 3-4 minutes on the skin side before flipping over and cooking for 1-2 minutes further. At this stage I remove the salmon from the pan and make the sauce but you could serve the salmon just like that with a squeeze of lemon if you want to keep it simple.
HOW DO KNOW IF SALMON IS COOKED?
Salmon is cooked when the flesh flakes easily. Salmon is best not overcooked so cooking for 3-4 minutes on the skin side and another 1-2 minutes on the flesh-side should result in perfectly cooked fish (depending on thickness).
