Crispy juicy salmon
This simple, healthy, quick and delicious salmon recipe requires only 10 minutes of preparation and cooking.
In order for the salmon to have a crispy skin combined with a juicy, pink flesh, it is important that it be cooked on very high heat using oil that is heat resistant. About three quarters of the cooking is on the skin side and the remaining time is reserved for brief cooking on the flesh side.
