Crispy Salmon Recipe
Crispy Skin Salmon Recipe made quick and easy in the oven using the broiler setting. This simple cooking method results in perfectly crispy salmon on top with a tender center every time!
Ingredients
- 1 (1-pound) salmon fillet
- 2 teaspoons avocado oil or cooking oil of choice
- 1 pinch sea salt
- 1/2 teaspoon paprika
- 1/4 teaspoon onion powder
- 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/4 teaspoon ground coriander
Instructions
- Preheat your oven on the high broil setting.
- Spray a large baking sheet with cooking spray, or lightly oil the bottom of a casserole dish and place the salmon fillet in it skin side down. Drizzle avocado oil over the flesh of the salmon and use your hands to spread it over the full surface so that everything is coated. Sprinkle with sea salt.
- In a small bowl, combine the paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, and coriander. Sprinkle this mixture liberally over the salmon (note: you may have leftover seasoning, and that's fine! You can use it for future salmon/chicken/steak endeavors or on vegetables).
- Place the salmon on the third-to-the-top shelf of the oven and broil for 10 minutes. (6 minutes for rare salmon, and up to 15 minutes for a very thick cut of salmon). Remove from the oven and allow salmon to cool 5 minutes before serving with your favorite side dishes.Note that salmon is considered fully cooked when it reaches an internal temperature of 145 degrees Fahrenheit. Insert a digital thermometer into the thickest part of the salmon to check for doneness.
Notes
If you follow a Low-FODMAP diet, replace the onion powder and garlic powder with dried oregano and thyme.
