It’s our final week of filming for Season 17 of #ATKTV and Julia Collin Davison and Bridget Lancaster have stepped into the test kitchen for a recipe segment for our @cooksillustrated Pan-Seared Salmon. Our pan-seared salmon is first brined to season it and to keep it moist as it cooks. It is then placed in a cold, dry nonstick skillet skin side down over medium-high heat. The skin protects the fish from drying out while cooking and is easily peeled off and discarded once the fish is cooked. The skin also releases fat into the pan, which is then used to sear the second side until it is golden brown and crisp. Click the link in our bio to read about our recipe development for this dish and the revolutionary cold pan technique that keeps the whole operation on the stovetop at one heat level for a quick weeknight meal. #ATKgrams #ATKTV17 #behindthescenes
