Sailboat Galley – Pan Fried Salmon

Pan-frying is one of the best ways to cook salmon fillets. It’s quick, and easy, and gives the fish that perfect crispy, crunchy skin. A simple pan-fried salmon is the secret to a flavorful and healthy weeknight dinner in 30 minutes or less. Season the salmon fillets with salt and pepper.

Salmon is oily, resulting in higher calorie content than that of other fish such as tilapia. One 3-ounce serving of pan-roasted salmon contains 121 calories, which is just over 40 calories per ounce. If you use olive oil, the calorie count jumps to about 180 calories per serving.

Pan Frying is considered healthier than deep-frying due to the smaller amounts of oil it uses. Additionally, it’s best to choose an oil that’s stable at high heat and will add healthier fats to your fish.
