Ingredients
– 4 fillets of salmon (skin-on)
– 2 tablespoons olive oil
– Salt, to taste
– Pepper, to taste
Instructions
Creating Crispy Skin Salmon with Salsa Verde can be simple if you follow these straightforward steps:
1. Prepare the Salsa Verde: In a bowl, combine the chopped parsley, basil, capers, red wine vinegar, lemon zest, lemon juice, minced garlic, and crushed red pepper flakes (if using). Season with salt and pepper to taste. Mix well and set aside to let the flavors meld.
2. Prepare the Salmon: Pat the salmon fillets dry with paper towels. This helps achieve a crispy skin. Season both sides with salt and pepper.
3. Heat the Pan: In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat until shimmering.
4. Cook the Salmon: Place the salmon fillets skin-side down in the hot skillet. Press gently to ensure the skin makes good contact with the pan. Cook for about 5-6 minutes without moving the fillets, until the skin is golden and crispy.
5. Flip the Salmon: Carefully flip the salmon fillets using a spatula. Cook for an additional 3-4 minutes, or until the salmon is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork.
6. Serve the Dish: Remove the salmon from the skillet and place it on a serving platter. Spoon the prepared salsa verde generously over the top of each fillet.
7. Garnish (Optional): For an extra touch, garnish with additional herbs or lemon wedges if desired.
