Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Salmon

    Pat the Chilean salmon fillets dry with paper towels. Season both sides with salt and black pepper.

  2. 2

    Heat the Pan

    In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat until hot.

  3. 3

    Sear the Salmon

    Carefully place the salmon fillets skin-side down in the hot skillet. Cook for about 4-5 minutes until the skin is crispy and golden brown.

  4. 4

    Flip and Finish Cooking

    Gently flip the salmon fillets and cook for an additional 3-4 minutes or until the salmon is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork.

  5. 5

    Add Lemon Juice

    Drizzle the lemon juice over the cooked salmon before removing from the skillet.

  6. 6

    Serve

    Serve the salmon hot with homemade caper sauce drizzled on top.
