Where can I find the best salmon?

We love ButcherBox salmon. It comes frozen and individually packaged, but tastes so incredibly fresh. It’s super easy to thaw and prepare when it comes to meal prep. ButcherBox salmon comes with the skin on which we are huge fans of however, you can absolutely opt for skinless salmon filets for this recipe.

How do I achieve that perfect salmon sear?

The art to the that crispy sear on salmon (without drying it out) is to first pat the salmon dry with a paper towel and then season it with salt and pepper. You want to bring a few tablespoons of olive oil to heat and then place the salmon skin side up for 4-5 minutes. For this recipe, we will be placing the salmon back into the skillet skin side down with the remaining ingredients to cook until done.
