Confession time, I have not always been a big fan of salmon. I know, I know … shame on me. I was introduced to strong smelly salmon in my younger years, and it was not a good impression. Let’s just say that it was not prepared properly. Now I know better, and I’m happy to say that those salmon-hating days are over.
Now we regularly enjoy experimenting with different salmon recipes and techniques from grilling to broiling, baking, and pan-frying. I have shared how to grill salmon before, but I think there is more control with a skillet.

Six minutes is all the cook time you need, and it is done to perfection.
Perfection, I say! And don’t forget the relish! Serve the finished salmon warm, topped with a crunchy sweet and savory Peach and Pepper Relish, along with a tossed salad for one amazing meal.

You know I’m a salmon lover. Perfect summer dish for entertaining!
This recipe has made me a salmon fan too!
I’m glad you came to the salmon side! This sounds so amazing, and is gorgeous, as well!!
My husband loves salmon, but I think he’s pretty bored with the way I cook it. I can’t wait to see what he thinks of your recipe.
This is beyond gorgeous!!! Exactly the kind of dinner I love making in the summer.
Just made this dish, and loved every bite! We have salmon at least once a week, so I am constantly on the search for different toppings, rubs and sauces. This one is a keeper, and got rave reviews from the whole family.
Thank you, Amy! Fabulous recipe. It was very easy and looks impressive. Best of all it’s delicious! The only change I made was I added a minced jalapeño to the peaches only because I like things spicy all around. 😅 This one is a keeper.
