For some perfectly cooked (neither overcooked nor undercooked), moist, tender, and flavorful salmon, reach for Coho or sockeye instead of king salmon and use a dual-heat trick.
The first step of the technique involves heating an oven-safe pan over medium heat and cooking your salmon filet with the flesh side down for about three minutes.
Flip the filet and put the pan into an oven heated to 475 degrees Fahrenheit. Cook it for five minutes, remove it from the oven, and let it rest for five minutes before serving.
