How Does Gordon Ramsay Cook Salmon?

When it comes to cooking salmon, there are many methods out there. However, few chefs are as renowned for their salmon dishes as Gordon Ramsay. The celebrity chef has been known to prepare salmon in a variety of ways, each one more delicious than the last.

One of Gordon Ramsay’s go-to methods for cooking salmon is pan-searing. This involves heating up a pan over high heat, adding oil or butter to the pan, and then placing the salmon skin-side down in the pan.

Ramsay recommends cooking the salmon for about 4-5 minutes on this side until the skin is crispy and golden brown. Then, flip the salmon over and cook for another 1-2 minutes on the other side until it is cooked through but still moist.

Another way that Gordon Ramsay prepares salmon is by baking it in parchment paper. This method locks in flavors and keeps the fish moist while baking.

Firstly, preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Cut two sheets of parchment paper into squares. Place one piece of parchment on top of another forming an X-shape with enough space in between so that you can place your ingredients on top of it.

Place some sliced onions and lemon wedges on top of the parchment paper. Season your salmon fillet with salt and pepper before placing it skin-side down onto the bed of onions and lemon wedges. Also make sure that you brush olive oil over all sides of your fish fillet before seasoning with salt and pepper.

Next, fold up all four sides of the parchment paper around your ingredients to create a tightly sealed packet. Place this packet onto a baking sheet and bake for about 12-15 minutes until done.

If you’re looking for something a bit more unique, try Gordon Ramsay’s recipe for miso-marinated salmon skewers. To make these skewers, you’ll need bamboo skewers soaked in water beforehand so they don’t burn on the grill, salmon fillets, and a miso marinade made from miso paste, soy sauce, honey, garlic, and ginger.

Cut your salmon fillet into cubes before marinating them in the miso mixture for at least an hour. Once they’re done marinating, thread the salmon onto skewers and grill them until they’re cooked through but still moist. This should take about 2-3 minutes per side.

In conclusion, Gordon Ramsay has a few different methods for cooking salmon. Whether you prefer pan-seared fillets or skewered pieces on the grill, his recipes are sure to yield delicious results. Give these methods a try and see which one becomes your new favorite way to prepare this tasty fish!
