- STOVETOP INSTRUCTIONS:
- Salmon Note: If you aren't able to grill outdoors or don't care to, the salmon can be cooked in a hot well-seasoned large pan on the stovetop over moderately high heat.a s follows -
- Heat large saute pan over medium-high heat.
- When hot, add 1-2 tablespoons of olive oil and 1 tablespoon of unsalted butter. When the butter melts completely into the olive oil, add the salted and peppered salmon fillets, flesh side down.
- Watch the salmon closely. You do not want to overcook it.
- I would estimate 4-6 minutes per side. HOWEVER, I don't time the process as much as I watch the cook line of the salmon. In that I mean, you can see the salmon turning a lighter pink as it cooks and it will move up the fillet from the pan surface. Watch the center sides where the thickness is.
- As the cook line gets almost half way up the center thickness of the fillet, flip the fillet into the skin side. Cook another 4 minutes or until the cook line gets close to the done line above.
- What you want: To leave about about 1/8 inch of uncooked salmon in the very center of the thickness part of the fillet. Remove from pan and place on serving platter.
- **The salmon will continue to cook after it is removed from the heat. But the perfectly cooked salmon fillet here is still a tiny bit on the just-barely-cooked side in the dead center. That way it remains moist and flaky and perfect throughout
- Sprinkle fillets with zest and top each with 1 tablespoon lime butter sauce.
