Cook the Salmon

Heat a frying pan that is large enough to hold all of the salmon, or fry in two batches. 

Add butter, ghee or fat of choice, 1/3 to 1/2 cup, or enough to generously cover the bottom of the pan. 

Add the salmon and cook on medium for 2 to 3 minutes, until a lightly browned crust forms.

Flip over and add more fat if necessary. 

Cook for 2 to 3 more minutes – longer if pieces are thick or if you prefer your salmon more cooked through. (We prefer to have it rare to medium rare.)

Remove salmon pieces to a plate, tray, or serving dish.

3. Let sauce bubble gently to thicken, constantly stirring to keep even.

4. For richer flavor, whisk in extra tablespoon of butter before removing from stove

Make Ahead Options

This recipe can be made a day ahead, the salmon can be easily reheated in an air fryer at 400 for approximately 4 minutes or an oven or toaster oven at 450. Watch carefully as to not burn, and flip over if necessary to crisp both sides. Careful to not overcook as the salmon will dry out.
