It's not really a recipe. But I brine the fish with a 1/4 cup of salt dissolved in a quart of room temperature water for 15 minutes. Pat dry. Sprinkle a 1/4 teaspoon of salt and pepper on the bottom of a cold skillet. Put the salmon skin side down in the cold pan and turn up heat to medium high. Cook for 6-8 minutes until the skin is browned and crisp and without moving. Flip and cook until the temp registers 140 (about 6 minutes), again without moving.

Super easy. Done perfectly. Moist and awesome.

Have never brined a fish before, but just read about it. Looks like it also minimizes the albumen that pours out -- cool tip, thanks!
It does indeed. Soaking in milk for 10 minutes also does the trick.

salmon in the skillet is indeed the way to go (besides a grill). i'll have to try the brine next time.

last night I used what was left from the meatballs I made the other night...50/50 beef/pork with raw egg, bread crumbs,basil, oregano, and garlic..decided to make them into hamburger patties and grill them with slices of cheddar and just have them like a hamburger..it was quite delicious.
