Vincenzo’s Top Tip To Make Crispy Skin Salmon

Medium rare is the BEST RECOMMENDED

Firstly, I like to have mine medium rare as long the salmon fillet is fresh.

Pat the salmon dry

To achieve crispiness, start by patting the fillet dry, removing any excess moisture.

Use a hot pan

Lastly, Heat a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat until it’s hot.

Baby spinach

Instructions

Step One
To create a Mediterranean base for your crispy skin salmon, heat the saucepan on medium heat and add extra virgin olive oil.
Once it has warmed up, add cubes of zucchini and mix well.
After a few minutes, add cherry tomatoes, garlic, sundried tomatoes and a pinch of salt.
After 5 minutes add pesto and mix again.
Once combined well, add baby spinach and mix through.
Cook for 3 more minuetes or until the baby spinach has darkened in colour and cooked through.
Step Two
Get the salmon fillet and squeeze some lemon juice over the top, adding a pinch of salt.
Heat a frypan on medium heat and add extra virgin olive oil with a hint of lemon (you can use regular extra virgin olive oil too).
Place the fillet gently into the frypan with the skin down and let it simmer. Cook it for approx 5-6 minutes so it begins to become crispy.
Once the skin turns crispy, turn the salmon fillet and cook the other side 4-5 minutes.
E ora si mangia, Vincenzo’s Plate….Enjoy!

How to serve Crispy Skin Salmon

To create a mouthwatering meal, begin by spreading a Mediterranean base on the centre of a plate. Next, place the fillet on top, and consider putting it on the plate with the pink part facing up or down.

Furthermore, spread a thin layer of pesto on top for an added burst of flavour. This recipe is a perfect meal with an excellent Rose’ wine, as the flavours complement each other beautifully.
