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.
