I have been salmon fishing and eating salmon for over 40 years and I have caught and eaten every type of salmon in North America and cooked them in every way possible way, including the Dish Washer method.
I saw this method a few weeks ago and decided to give it ago, and it is the best way to pan-sear salmon. Super Juice, and absolutely delicious.
If you try it, make sure to take the temp of the outer pieces in the pan first as they seem to cook faster then the ones in the middle. As soon as the internal temperature reaches 125 F, take it out of the pan.
Who would have thought that cooking in a cold pan to start without any butter or oils would taste so amazing and be so perfectly cooked and delicious EVERY TIME?
Even the skin is super crispy and delicious, if you try it let me know how it worked out for you. I have been cooking Farmed Atlantic Salmon this way. I will only cook my salmon this way in the future.
I poached the Asparagus for 3 minutes in boiling salted water, then I finished cooking them in a butter/lemon sauce. I poured the butter/lemon sauce from the Asparagus over the rice.
Really simple dinner but amazing, so good that I just ordered 10 Atlantic Salmon filets from a wholesaler where I am from and will be eating salmon this way twice a week.
I happened to watch that episode recently. America’s Test Kitchen is a great production. A ton of easy, tasty recipes with really good instructions for the method
I’ll do the salmon soon as a buddy gave me some he caught in Alaska

Hi rcamuglia, being an expert Chef you know that the fat content in Atlantic Salmon exceeds any salmon on the West Coast, it will be interesting to know how yours turns out. What species are you trying it with?
The reason why Wild Atlantic salmon are so fat is because they feed on lots of Krill in the Arctic and Northern regions.
As I mentioned, I have only tried it with Farmed Atlantic Salmon, and it's the first time I have enjoyed Farmed. Wild Atlantic salmon taste nothing like wild, but with this technique Farmed are delicious.
Good luck looking forward to hearing your results and maybe a with picture, since all of the food you post looks fantastic.
If I owned a restaurant I would charge $40.00 a plate hehehe
From what I’ve read, wild Atlantic fat content is less than sockeye. Farmed Atlantic is considerably higher in fat, I guess from the Purina kibbles they get fed.
Pretty happy with grilled and traditional pan seared. Might give it a try though.

I have caught both Sockeye and Wild Atlantic salmon, Wild Atlantic salmon IMO is way better tasting because it has a lot more fat than Sockeye. In fact compared to an Atlantic Salmon, all western species have very little fat in comparison.
My favorite thing to do was to get up in the morning and eat it cold out of the fridge with the congealed fat with salt.
We went every year to the Gaspé to fly fish for them, fun times.

Catching a Wild Atlantic Salmon these days is a very complicated and expensive prospect!
I have caught a lot of King Salmon on the West Coast and Atlantic Salmon on the East Coast so I know the difference between the two based on experience, have you caught any Wild Atlantic salmon?
Wild Atlantic salmon are so fat they are "Oily" Kings are not.
