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.

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.
