This method is possibly my new go-to for salmon. Short brine and then start skin-side down in a cold pan. Really excellent.

If anyone's interested, I can expound on the method.

Please expound on your method. The wife loves salmon and I'm always looking for other ways to prepare it.

Expound away.

It's ATK's method from their show a few weeks ago.

1 qt. Cold water
1/2 c. Kosher salt

Brine 5 oz. or 6 oz. filets for 15 minutes, then dry. The brine seasons it, but also keeps the salmon from leaking albumin as it cooks and keeps it moist.

In a cold skillet, sprinkle some salt and pepper and lay the fillets skin side down. Season top with salt and pepper.

Heat to medium-high and let cook without moving for 5-6 minutes or until the skin is brown and crispy and the bottom 1/4 inch or so is opaque.

Flip and cook for another 4-5 minutes. Target 125 degrees for farmed salmon or 120 for wild.

Plate skin side down and let rest for a few minutes covered.

Make up your mind, woman!!!!

ATK says skin side down, and it's their method. :-)

If you're eating the skin, I'd still go skin side up. Skin will stay crispy that way.

ATK sounds like a dog breeder, did you throw some ketchup on those tators?

Tons of times. Not sure it makes much of a difference on the grill, but slow smoking seems to be the sweet spot for me.

I still prefer it pan fried in a cast iron pan.

Okay FMB I bought a bottle of Gates after hanging shit on you. That shit is horrible still. Gates BBQ would get its ass kicked by a McRib.... A fucking McRib. That's the last $3.99 Gates gets from me ever. Kraft regular is stellar compared to Gates. Rosie O'Donnell bleeding out would probably win in a blind taste test.

p.s. Sorry George Blowfish
