How to Make Salmon Piccata
Tips to Perfectly Cook Salmon in a Skillet
With pan seared salmon a few tricks I’ve found to get a crispy exterior are to use a preheated hot skillet with just enough oil, dab the salmon dry first, give it space in the skillet, and don’t move it around. Let it sit in the same spot until it’s ready to be flipped. It’s one of my favorite ways to cook salmon and it only takes minutes. You can’t beat that! Once you start cooking salmon in a skillet you won’t look back. It is probably the cooking method I use most for salmon because it’s too convenient (preheating a skillet is way faster than preheating an oven or grill) and the end result is just so tasty.
What Should I Serve with this Salmon Piccata
I like to serve this with orzo for the extra sauce and a side salad for some pops of color. But roasted veggies or steamed asparagus would also be a good choice. You can never have too many salmon recipes so add this one to the list! Salmon is one of my favorite dinners so I’m always trying out new salmon recipes and I’m totally loving this one!
