Directions

Pat salmon dry. Combine olive oil, garlic, lemon zest, oregano, paprika, salt, and pepper and coat the salmon. Heat a seasoned de Buyer skillet over medium-high heat. Sear salmon skin-side down when applicable until crisp and well browned. Flip and finish gently until cooked to the preferred doneness using safe handling practices. Finish with lemon juice and fresh parsley. Avoid overcooking so the salmon remains moist and flaky.

Equipment

Wüsthof IKON Chef’s Knife; Asahi Hi-Soft cutting board; de Buyer 12-inch or 14-inch carbon-steel skillet; fish spatula; instant-read thermometer; BlueStar range.

Food safety & storage

Refrigerate cooked salmon promptly and use within 3 days. Reheat gently to avoid drying the fish. Follow current food-safety guidance for fish preparation and storage.
