Notes
1. Salmon – in theory, you can do this for as many salmon as you want, it’s just about how many you can handle in one batch. Also, don’t crowd the skillet – the salmon will just steam instead of pan fry.
Any size fillets are fine, a standard serving is typically around 150 – 180g / 5 – 6oz per person. Look for even-thickness fillets. If you can only find ones with a quite thin end, don’t worry – that’s the salmon belly and has enough fat that it will still stay juicy!
Fish fillets should be de-boned and descaled. See in post for how to check and remove yourself if necessary. Fish mongers should sell fillets already descaled and pin-boned, that’s partly why we pay a premium for fish fillets!
2. Salt – cooking/kosher salt are slightly larger grains than table salt, intended for more easy handling for cooking purposes. So if you use table salt, you need to use less otherwise it will be too salty.
3. Nutrition per serving, assuming 150g/5oz per fillet and that half the oil is consumed.
