Pan-Seared Salmon Ingredients<\/h2>\n\n- Salmon:<\/strong> This nutritious fish is an excellent source of omega-3 fatty acids. It’s easy to find in supermarkets, and it boasts a mild, crowd-pleasing flavor. A highly versatile fish, salmon can be seared, poached, grilled and more. Achieve restaurant-quality results with these helpful tips for buying salmon<\/a>.<\/li>\n
- Canola oil:<\/strong> Canola oil has a high-smoke point. It’s is key in creating a crusty exterior when you’re pan-searing.<\/li>\n
- Yogurt:<\/strong> With its creamy texture and slightly tangy flavor, yogurt is at the heart of the super-simple sauce that acts as a refreshing counterpoint to the richness of salmon. We used reduced-fat, but feel free to swap in full-fat yogurt for more richness.<\/li>\n
- Fresh dill:<\/strong> The feathery fronds of this popular garden herb provide a sweet, almost citrusy flavor with slight anise notes.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
Directions<\/h2>\nStep 1: Season the salmon<\/h3>\n

<\/p>\n
Recipe Variations<\/h2>\n\n- Try new flavors: <\/strong>Experiment with different seasoning blends on your salmon. Try zesty lemon-pepper, floral-forward herbes de Provence or earthy za’atar.<\/li>\n
- Add fruits: <\/strong>Skip the dill sauce, and serve pan-seared salmon with fruit salsa<\/a> instead.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
How long does pan-seared salmon last?<\/h2>\n
Store pan-seared salmon in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to two days. Gently reheat the leftovers in a skillet over low heat until just warmed through.<\/p>\n
Pan-Seared Salmon Tips<\/h2>\n
![\"Pan](\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/06\/Pan-Seared-Salmon-with-Dill-Sauce_FT23_133878_ST_1117_3_MSedit.jpg?fit=700%2C1024\")
Taste Recipes<\/span><\/span><\/p>\nCan you make pan-seared salmon with skinless fillets?<\/h3>\n
Absolutely! But since skinless fillets are more prone to falling apart when flipped, ensure picture-perfect results by using a fish spatula when flipping. A fish spatula is a thin, flexible kitchen tool with a wide surface area that helps keep delicate fish flesh intact. These slotted spatulas are great for pancakes, cookies and eggs, too!<\/p>\n
How do you keep the salmon from sticking to the pan?<\/h3>\n
Properly heating your cooking oil is the best way to prevent fish from sticking to the pan. Heat a heavy-bottomed pan on medium-high heat before adding oil. Once the oil is shimmering, the pan is hot enough to add your salmon.<\/p>\n
What do you serve with pan-seared salmon?<\/h3>\n
With its mild flavor, pan-seared salmon goes with a variety of side dishes. Try it alongside a hearty baked potato, lemon-roasted potatoes<\/a> or a brown rice pilaf<\/a>. A fresh green salad and a medley of grilled vegetables would also be fitting sidekicks to this light and flavorful dish.<\/p>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Pan-seared salmon is an elegant, wholesome entree that requires little time or effort.

Directions<\/h2>\nStep 1: Season the salmon<\/h3>\n
In a large skillet, heat the oil over medium-high heat. At the same time, while waiting for the skillet to come to temperature, blot the salmon with a paper towel to remove any excess moisture. Sprinkle the fillets with Italian seasoning and salt.<\/p>\n Editor’s Tip: <\/em>Before cooking, always check your salmon for freshness. From the sniff test to how it looks, here’s how to tell if salmon is bad<\/a>.<\/p>\n Transfer the salmon fillets to the hot skillet, carefully placing skin side down.<\/p>\n Reduce the heat to medium. Cook until the fish begins to flake easily with a fork, about five minutes per side.<\/p>\n Editor’s Tip:<\/em> Pan-searing helps lock in moisture and prevent your salmon from drying out. For that coveted crispy crust, do not disturb the salmon as it cooks. Yep, that means no peeking!<\/p>\n In a small bowl, combine the yogurt, mayonnaise, cucumber and dill. Plate up your perfectly pan-seared salmon, and drizzle it with a few teaspoons of that creamy, dreamy sauce.<\/p>\n Store pan-seared salmon in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to two days. Gently reheat the leftovers in a skillet over low heat until just warmed through.<\/p>\n Absolutely! But since skinless fillets are more prone to falling apart when flipped, ensure picture-perfect results by using a fish spatula when flipping. A fish spatula is a thin, flexible kitchen tool with a wide surface area that helps keep delicate fish flesh intact. These slotted spatulas are great for pancakes, cookies and eggs, too!<\/p>\n Properly heating your cooking oil is the best way to prevent fish from sticking to the pan. Heat a heavy-bottomed pan on medium-high heat before adding oil. Once the oil is shimmering, the pan is hot enough to add your salmon.<\/p>\n With its mild flavor, pan-seared salmon goes with a variety of side dishes. Try it alongside a hearty baked potato, lemon-roasted potatoes<\/a> or a brown rice pilaf<\/a>. A fresh green salad and a medley of grilled vegetables would also be fitting sidekicks to this light and flavorful dish.<\/p>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Pan-seared salmon is an elegant, wholesome entree that requires little time or effort.

Instead of using mayo and fresh dill, I used some dill pesto with the yogurt because I had some in the freezer. Saved on buying a bunch of fresh dill that I couldn't finish up. We had some leftover fish, and it made a terrific salmon salad the next day! This recipe is definitely on the keeper list!","reviewRating":{"@context":"http:\/\/schema.org\/","@type":"Rating","ratingValue":5,"worstRating":1,"bestRating":5}},{"@context":"http:\/\/schema.org\/","@type":"Review","datePublished":"2018-09-28","author":{"@context":"http:\/\/schema.org\/","@type":"Person","name":"GoldClover"},"reviewBody":"This fish was very simple to make and delicious. The yogurt mixture made way too much for the quantity of salmon, but it was sooooo good. We kept ours and used it as a dip with some pork souvlaki I made later in the week because it resembles a tzatziki sauce. In fact, I'll probably use just the sauce recipe in the future for that purpose.","reviewRating":{"@context":"http:\/\/schema.org\/","@type":"Rating","ratingValue":5,"worstRating":1,"bestRating":5}}]},"video":{"title":"Pan-Seared Salmon with Dill Sauce","description":"Check out this video for how to make Pan-Seared Salmon with Dill Sauce","url":"https:\/\/videodam.tmbi.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/PanSearedSalmonWithDillSauce_DIYD_133878_030121_H.mp4","duration":"64","mime_type":"video\/mp4","thumbnail_url":"https:\/\/videodam.tmbi.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/Pan-Seared-Salmon-with-Dill-Sauce_EXPS_SDAS18_133878_C03_29__10b-7.jpg","advertising":true,"jw_id":"srNqf6Ka","jw_url":"http:\/\/content.jwplatform.com\/videos\/srNqf6Ka-3rTW9UQq.mp4","jw_thmub_url":"http:\/\/content.jwplatform.com\/v2\/media\/srNqf6Ka\/poster.jpg?width=720","jw_publish_date":"03\/25\/2021"},"rms_legacy_id":"133878","romance_copy_dek":"Pan-seared salmon is an elegant, wholesome entree that requires little time or effort.
