    Last night's dinner was a salmon fillet with no skin - just panfried in a non stick pan with nothing added.
    I cook it for long enough that it gets all crispy and delicious on the outside and is cooked right through without being dry. Experts would probably call it overcooked, but that's how I like it.

    When it was done I served it on brown rice and steamed broccoli with just some fresh lime squeezed on top and a little bit of salt and pepper.

    And I used to be an "I hate seafood" person, but this was delicious!

    In a frypan with a drop of oil over med-high gas skin-side down for a few minutes till the skin is browned, flip, then turn the heat to quite low and put a cover over it and leave for another few minutes and it will be cooked through but not dry.

    I eat it with steamed veg and rice or risotto, and some Byron jalapeno sauce.

    The way to cook salmon is this.
    Take the fillet, rub in salt since this will draw out the water.
    After about 10 minutes put the fillet, skin side down onto a plate of flour. so it coats the skin This will protect the skin when you put it in the pan and make it lovely and crispy.

    Heat up a flat based frying pan with a little oil. When it is hot, put the fillet in the pan skin/flour side down.
    Cook until about 75% done on a medium heat. Turn over the fillet, add some butter and squeeze of lemon. Cook the fillet in the liquid.

    You can serve with a Buerre Noissette sauce which is simply butter which is heated added to which is , dill, parsley, teaspoon of capers and lemon juice.

    Pan searing fish is one of those simple techniques that you really want to master. Here's a video that keeps it simple and clearly shows the key points.

    Agree with pan searing. I just salt and pepper my salmon, bring to room temperature, then sear with skin side up for about 3 minutes, then flip so skin side is down in the pan for another 2-3 minutes depending on preference for doneness. I use med-high heat. When done, let sit for a minute or so, then squeeze lemon juice. So yummy!

    I'm trying to eat more fish in my diet and I struggle with cooking Salmon...I seem to always overcook it as I fear it will be undercooked. Any ideas would be greatly appreciated.

    IMO, it's hard to undercook salmon! I suppose it depends on your personal preference, but salmon should retain a vibrant pink center, and even tend towards rare for best taste.

    Eating overcooked salmon is like eating a "well done" steak. You can do it, but why?

    Sounds a bit strange but 200 for 20 - 30 minutes. Season with a little olive oil and salt and pepper. Salmon is easy to overcook but this method will cook it thoroughly and keep the fish moist but if it's in the oven longer it won't overcook.
