Simple Salmon

Ingredients:

• 2 salmon fillets (skin-on)
• Salt
• Neutral cooking oil (high smoke point)
• Lemon
• Parchment paper (optional for nonstick surface)

Instructions:

1. Prepare the Salmon

• Portion the salmon into even fillets.
• Score the skin lightly with a knife to prevent curling.
• Insert the Combustion Predictive Thermometer, with the tip pushed beyond the (visual) center of the fillet, be sure to insert past the minimum insertion line (marked on the thermometer)
• Season both sides of the salmon with kosher salt.

2. Preheat the Pan

• Heat a nonstick or stainless-steel pan over medium heat.
• Add plenty of high-temperature oil (grapeseed, canola, avocado) to ensure even frying.
• (Optional) Place a small piece of parchment paper in the pan to prevent sticking.

3. Cook the Salmon

• Set the Combustion app to 92°F (33°C) to allow for carryover cooking up to 122°F (50°C).
• Place the salmon skin-side down in the pan.
• Weigh the fillets down with a heavy pan or spatula to keep the skin flat and crispy.
• Flip the salmon once the core is about halfway done

4. Rest & Serve

• Remove the salmon when the prediction timer hits zero and rest it skin-side up.
• While resting, char a lemon in the pan until caramelized.
• Squeeze the charred lemon over the salmon for extra flavor.
