Cast Iron Salmon

[greenhornet73]

A cast iron pan or a non-stick oven proof frying pan will work for this.  
(I have only used store bought and not Lake O salmon for this recipe)
Ingredients:

2 Tbs butter
sea salt or kosher salt (definitely use a generous sprinkle but not coated either)

fresh ground pepper

garlic powder or minced garlic
light sprinkle of Cayenne pepper

Pinch of dill weed

salmon fillet with skin on- very important 

 

-preheat oven at 400

-preheat frying pan on med high with butter

-rinse salmon and pat dry

-season meat side of fillet with all above ingredients 

-when butter is bubbling, add fillet meat side Down onto pan 

-spoon some of the melted butter over the top of skin

-add a light drizzle of olive oil to pan around the fish to keep liquid from burning off 

-let salmon cook on stove about 3 or 4 minutes until you see meat cooking along the bottom edges

Do not flip fish- take pan and place in the oven and let bake for 15 minutes

-Remove pan and flip fish when you plate it so meat side is up.

You will have a perfectly golden crispy crust over the top of your fillet. 
Add a lemon wedge and fresh parsley on top and you just turned a $40 plate into an every day meal.

Let me know how this works with lake run salmon if you try it.  I haven’t been out on the big lake yet this year.
