I love salmon cooked on a cast iron skillet. We use kosher salt (huge Alton Brown fans) on both sides, rub whatever else the mood calls for and sear each side. If the fillet is too big to be cooked through, we stick the skillet in the oven at 350 until its done.

Lightly brown almond slivers in olive oil, add asparagus and “stir-fry” until done. Yummy.

The above salmon method also works very well for steak and pork chops.

Hey Bree,

That’s exactly how I cook my salmon.  Simple works!

It really is amazing. I’m beginning to wonder if everyone around here read this post. I can’t find decent salmon anywhere! And I have the asparagus to go with it (sauteed with some almond slivers, maybe some onions) yum.

Asparagus is always the best veggie to go with Salmon.
I’ve been making a blackened salmon with mango salsa lately...really good.

I just picked up a nice Salmon fillet from Costco.  It’s huge but I pre-cut it into single servings and freeze it for later. 

Asparagus - hummm - thanks for the dinner suggestion.
