A great treatment for salmon that is high on flavor, but low on time and effort. Cooks easily in a heavy nonstick or cast-iron skillet, or outside on the grill.

Delicious served with fragrant basmati rice and steamed asparagus.

Though you can never go wrong buying good quality fresh salmon, I buy the individually quick-frozen, wrapped fillets in a bag from Costco. They store well and thaw quickly, without losing flavor or texture.

From Gourmet, 1990, via Epicurious, with a little tweaking.

Directions

  1. If you are using IQF fillets, make sure they are thawed completely before you begin cooking.
  2. In a bowl stir together the black pepper, the paprika, the cayenne, the garlic, the onion, the thyme, the salt, and the oil until the mixture forms a stiff paste.
  3. Pat the paste onto both sides of each salmon fillet.
  4. Heat a well-oiled skillet over medium high heat until nearly smoking.
  5. Sauté the salmon in the skillet for 4 to 5 minutes on each side, or until it is cooked through.
