Patricia Valbrun
Salmon Rasta Pasta is another take to one of our most well-loved recipes, Jamaican Rasta Pasta. Instead of using chicken, we used Salmon which is perfect and complemented the rasta pasta so well.

HOW TO PAN FRY SALMON

  • Prepare your salmon, make sure to they’re dry and room temperature. If they’re still a little wet, pat them with a paper towel.
  • Season your salmon with salt and pepper. Squeeze some lemon over each fillet.
  • Heat oil in a large non-stick pan over medium-high hot. Alternatively, you can also use a cast-iron skillet.
  • Once the oil is shimmering and is already hot, reduce the heat to medium and carefully place your salmon fillet into the pan, skin side down (or flesh side down).
  • Press them lightly with a spatula to the surface to avoid them from curling up, hold the spatula down for a few seconds.
  • Sear the salmon for 3 to 4 minutes until crispy and golden brown. Flip the other side and fry for 2 minutes. You can add here butter, the remaining lemon, and seasoning depending on your preference.
  • Baste the salmon fillet with butter and lemon juices on your pan. Fry for another few minutes until you reach your desired doneness. Make sure not to over fry your salmon. And you’re done!
