Sautéed Salmon with Ratatouille

Because it is naturally moist, salmon is a great fish for dry-heat cooking methods like sautéing. This simple, rustic dish pairs salmon fillets with a classic ratatouille.

Prep Time: 10 minutes

Cook Time: 10 minutes

Ingredients:

  • 4 boneless salmon fillets (4-6 oz each)
  • 2 Tbsp clarified butter (or 3 Tbsp unsalted butter)
  • 2 Tbsp vegetable oil
  • Kosher salt, to taste

Preparation:

  1. Prepare classic ratatouille recipe.

  2. Season both sides of the salmon fillets with Kosher salt.

  3. Warm a heavy-bottomed sauté pan over medium-high heat.

  4. Add clarified butter and oil, and wait for it to get hot, but not quite smoking.

  5. Place the salmon skin-side down in the hot pan. Cook about 2 to 3 minutes or until the skin is crispy.

  6. Cook the other side for 2-4 minutes, depending on thickness. The fillets should just start to flake but still be medium rare in the middle.

  7. Serve with ratatouille.
