 Is it better to bake or pan fry salmon?So many people love oven baked or sheet pan salmon recipes because they’re convenient, but a skillet salmon recipe is just as easy. Better yet, sauteed salmon on the stove is even quicker to prepare than cooking in the oven. Just season with salt and pepper, pan sear on both sides, and dinner is ready in minutes! Personally, pan seared is also my favorite method because it tastes the best. It has a juicier, flakier texture, and nothing compares to the deliciously crispy skin and edges on a seared salmon filet. I’ll show you how to pan sear salmon on the stovetop, plus a fun grilled salmon option using a grill pan. Whether you’ve got salmon with skin or without skin, both methods will work for either type of filet! How to Pan Sear Salmon with Skin or WithoutIf you’ve always baked salmon in the oven, it can be intimidating to learn how to cook salmon in a pan on the stove. But, trust me—after cooking pan seared salmon once, you’ll see how simple and tasty it is! With skin or without skin, the cooking process for skillet salmon follows the same 3 steps:
How to Cook Pan Grilled SalmonFor another stovetop method, try whipping up some gorgeous pan grilled salmon on your grill pan! If you’ve got a grill pan that can go on the stovetop, this is a fun and tasty option to switch things up. The process is essentially the same as pan searing and just as easy. Do you cook salmon on high or low heat?When cooking pan seared salmon on the stove, first heat your pan to medium-high heat. Then, add oil and sear your salmon on the first side. After flipping, turn the heat down to medium and continue to cook. If you try the pan grilled salmon method, I recommend starting with the heat a bit higher, so you get those nice grill marks! What side of salmon do you sear first?For pan cooked salmon with the skin on, always start searing with the skin side up, flesh side down. If your filets are skinless, it doesn’t matter which side you start with! The same goes for cooking salmon in the grill pan. How long to pan sear salmon?Personally, I recommend cooking pan seared salmon for 8-10 minutes total: start with 4 minutes on one side, then lower the heat and continue 4-5 minutes on the other side. Do you flip salmon when pan frying?Yes, whether you’re cooking salmon with the skin on or off, it’s best to flip salmon when pan frying! Also, when pan grilling. By cooking the filets on both sides, you get nice and crispy edges all around, and some satisfyingly crispy skin if your filets have the skin on. How do you know when pan seared salmon is done?The cook time for pan seared salmon depends on your personal preference. Personally, I like my salmon cooked medium to medium-rare, so I pan sear for about 4 minutes on each side. If you prefer a medium-well to well-done filet, cook for an additional 1-2 minutes on the second side. The good thing about fish is it’s safe (and tasty) to eat medium-rare! Generally, I gauge the doneness by looking at the side of the filet. If the inner portion of the filet is darker pink and the outer edges are lighter, it’s closer to medium-rare. When the filet is lighter pink all the way through, it’s closer to medium-well. If you prefer to use a meat thermometer, look for an internal temperature of 120°F (49°C) for medium-rare, or up to 145°F (63°C) for well-done. Should you eat salmon skin?If you’re open to it, yes—you should absolutely eat sauteed salmon with skin! Not only does it make for a tasty, crispy texture, but it’s also loaded with wholesome nutrients that our bodies don’t get from many other food sources. Again, this comes down to personal preference. If you don’t enjoy eating salmon skin, buy skinless filets, or you can peel the skin off of a filet easily after cooking! What to Serve with Pan Seared SalmonSauces & Spreads

Cook the salmon undisturbed until the lighter-colored flesh has moved about 3/4 of the way up the fillets. This will come to a total time of 8 to 9 minutes for thick fillets and 6 to 7 minutes for thinner fillets.
How do you know when salmon is cooked in a pan?Salmon will change from translucent (red or raw) to opaque (pink) as it cooks. After 6-8 minutes of cooking, check for doneness, by taking a sharp knife to peek into the thickest part. If the meat is beginning to flake, but still has a little translucency in the middle, it is done.
Do you flip salmon When pan frying?There is no need to flip. Unless you have a well seasoned cast iron grill or one of the really cheap portable grills with thin grates, the flesh of the salmon will most likely stick. To avoid the "sticking panic" cook salmon skin side down and don't flip.
Is it better to bake or pan fry salmon?Roasting salmon fillets in the oven gives you beautiful, succulent fish that doesn't require constant attention.
