Free food & cooking tip: Skin crisp, flip once (step 2 of 3 from "Pan-Seared Salmon in 15 Minutes").

Cook skin-side ~70% of total time until flesh turns opaque two-thirds up. Flip once. Optional butter-garlic baste 30–60 seconds.

Target medium: 50–52°C thickest part. Rest 2 minutes skin-up so crust stays crisp.

Pro tip: If it sticks hard, wait 30 more seconds — fond releases when seared.
