Lately we’ve been making skillet salmon fillets about once a week. They’re super quick and easy. What’s great about salmon is it’s so versatile and handles various cooking methods so well. Be it on the grill or cedar plank, roasted in the oven or even gently cooked in the Sous Vide, salmon cooks up like a champ each time.

The best part has to be that unlike other methods mentioned above, the skin gets nice and crispy and that’s one of the best parts about salmon skin.
We recently got a delivery of the new Griddle and Grill Pack of Primal Palate Spices that included: Taco Seasoning, Steak Seasoning and Seafood Seasoning, so what better than to try out some wild salmon fillets with the Seafood Seasoning blend?
The sautéed greens is super easy to make as well and it’s something that we’ve made as a quick side dish for quite some time. And if you prefer your greens cooked vs raw, this is a great way to get some extra veggies in there as well.
Give these skillet salmon fillets a try. They’re so tasty and perfect for those nights when you don’t want to spend a ton of time making a crowd pleasing meal. Let us know what you think in the comments!
