Lodge Seasoned Steel is the perfect medium for flaky fish every time. Here’s a quick how-to on our favorite method.
1. Preheat oven to 300°F, and preheat your Lodge seasoned steel on the stovetop to just above medium. You can test to see if it’s hot enough by sprinkling with a couple drops of water. At the right temperature, the water will dance on the surface, instead of evaporating instantly.
2. Add butter or oil.
3. Sear salmon for two minutes, skin side down first. Flip, sear three more minutes.
4. Peel the skin away if desired and brush filet with leftover marinade or lemon juice.
5. Flip, and sear for one more minute for medium-rare to medium. For medium well to well-done, bake for two additional minutes in the oven.
