CAST IRON SALMON | CRISPY SKIN SALMON RECIPE
16 ounces farm raised salmon, cut into 4 ounce filets
1 teaspoon ghee, or coconut or avocado oil
1 teaspoon kosher salt, i like this one
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
INSTRUCTIONS
Pre-heat oven to 450 Fahrenheit and place 12-inch cast iron
Use a paper towel to pat both sides of salmon dry. If the skin is wet, it won't get crispy.
Season the salmon skin with kosher salt.
Carefully, remove hot pan from the oven and melt ghee in the pan.
Add salmon, skin side down, to the pan. You want to hear a sizzling sear when it hits the pan. Season top of salmon with a little more salt and black pepper and place in the oven for about 15 minutes.*
Once the salmon is opaque and flaky and opaque, it's ready to serve. I usually just stick a fork in and twist to make sure my salmon is done.
Serve and enjoy!
NOTES
*General rule of thumb is to cook for 4-6 minutes per every 1/2 inch of thickness. So be sure to adjust cook time as needed.

I’m normally a baker but I’m super interested in great recipes like this. Yum!
Thank you so much! !!
Great facts! I love my cast iron skillets! I love salmon so a win win for me. Thanks for making a fantastic video.
Lots of great into this video! Also, is Ghee the same as clarified butter (burn resistant butter)?
Love salmon with crispy skin! Just made a miso glazed salmon the other night with side of garlic butter green beans. So yummy.
Man!, that sounds really good!!
Thank you! I love your channel so much! I’ve made your turkey skillet, Mexican skillet, sandwiches. You are helping me so much in getting my family and I to eat such healthy flavorful recipes! Appreciate you!
I literally just found your channel 10 minutes ago because I’m looking for ways to eat cleaner, and I was thinking about cooking salmon tonight and you POSTED A VIDEO ABOUT COOKING SALMON TODAY WHAT
Enjoyed hearing your musical talent.
HOW ARE YOU SO HOT!?
Just so so so hot. You are the name personified of your channel. Love love your channel❤
Would love a video for homemade “made good” granola minis, all flavors!
I’ve got a great reason to buy a cast iron skillet! That looks fabulous!!!
Karen K cast irons skillets are the best. You can do so much with them. I love to use it to roast veggies/chicken or like a one pot meal. Even desserts and whatnot, so versatile. Definitely recommend.
Sounds great! I am going to be hard headed and try it with the wild salmon. My nearest Whole Foods store is closing down next week. I guess it is internet here i come!
Yes! Do it. If you buy King salmon it would be great (it’s just pricey!). Either way, let me know how it goes.
I just found you, oh my goodness made my day
Is your salmon descaled?
It’s hard to tell from the video, I watched twice.
I’ve bought the same product from the same store and have had with scales and without scales (the package just says skin on). If I see scales, I scale it myself while it’s still whole then I cut them into individual portions.
