Open in Pepper →Salmon is the one piece of fish that forgives you. A sweet-salty glaze, a hot pan, and it's done in the time it takes to set the table — and it tastes like you tried harder than you did.
Cooks on Pepper reach for these on the nights when the rice cooker is already going and nobody has decided what dinner is yet. One filet, one sauce, a bowl underneath, and you're eating by 6:30.
Every recipe here leans on soy, honey, ginger, and teriyaki: the Spicy Salmon Bowl and Viral salmon bowl for the sriracha crowd, Teriyaki Salmon Bowls with Crispy Brussels Sprouts when you want a vegetable in the same pan, and Miso salmon or Honey Garlic Salmon when you want it simple.
Pat the fillets dry
Blot both sides with paper towels before seasoning. Wet salmon steams instead of searing, and you'll lose the browned edge.
Glaze at the end
Honey and teriyaki burn fast, so brush the sauce on during the last 2 to 3 minutes of cooking or under the broiler.
Cook skin side down
Give it 4 to 5 minutes skin down in a hot pan, then just 1 to 2 minutes on the flesh side to finish.
Pull it at 125
Check the thickest part with a thermometer around 125 to 130°F; it keeps cooking off the heat and stays moist.
