Pan-fried Salmon

Step 2 Prep and add fish

Rinse your salmon and pat it dry.

Holding the fish over the sink, lightly rub it down with a thin layer of cornstarch. Give your fish a gentle shake to remove any excess cornstarch; this is intended to be an extremely thin layer. The cornstarch will help seal moisture into your fish, and help form a slightly crispy exterior.

Drop it skin-side down in the pan and cook over medium-high heat.
