Cooking salmon doesn’t have to be a high-stakes drama. You don’t need to babysit it or flip it every thirty seconds. Just pick your side—skin side down—and let the heat do the heavy lifting.
You get a perfectly cooked, juicy fillet with a built-in crunchy topping. It’s efficient, it’s delicious, and it makes you look like you know what you’re doing. What’s not to love?
So next time you’re at the stove, take a breath. Put the fish down on its skin, walk away, and grab a side dish to prep. Trust the process. Your taste buds will thank you. Now go make some crispy, beautiful salmon.
