Pan-Seared Salmon Fins

Cooking StepsHow to cook Pan-Seared Salmon Fins step by step

Cooking Process

1. 
   Step 1 Detail

   Take 250g salmon fins, add ½ tsp salt, 1 tsp black pepper, and 1 tbsp cooking wine. Mix well and marinate for 30 minutes.

2. 
   Step 2 Detail

   Heat a pan with oil and add 7g butter.

3. 
   Step 3 Detail

   Place the marinated salmon fins in the pan. (Don’t let the pan get too hot — the fins are thin and the meat is delicate. If the pan is too hot, the surface will sear and stick instantly, leaving you with burnt outside and raw inside.)

4. 
   Step 4 Detail

   Keep the heat at medium-low. Don’t flip right away — wait until the fish sets before turning. (I flipped too early here, so the fish broke apart a bit.)

5. 
   Step 5 Detail

   Continue on medium-low heat until the fins curl slightly and cook through. Then turn up to high heat for 10–20 seconds to get crispy, golden edges, and remove from the pan immediately. (You don’t need much oil — the fins cook quickly. Keep the total cooking time under 2 minutes.)
