How to pan sear salmon with skin
Can I make this ahead?
The salmon cooks so quickly so there isn’t much need to cook it in advance to reheat, unless you’d like to meal prep ahead. Any leftovers can be kept in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 2 days.
What to serve with seared salmon
Salmon is delicious with all kinds of side dishes. Asparagus is a classic accompaniment but I also love serving salmon with crispy potatoes, a simple orzo pasta salad or broccoli.
