I live in Manhattan and I don't normally cook. I bought all new cookware and headed to this site to try my frist recipe. Uh, what? I followed these instructions to the letter. What kind of stoves are they using? Portable camping ones? I have a normal apartment gas stove. OK 3 minutes on medium heat. Into the pan goes the the salmon with the olive oil. WHOOSH! it sent huge plumes of smoke all throughout the apartment. It looked like the place was on fire. I almost called the whole thing off, but kept going. And after just 2 minutes on so-called "high-heat" the so-called "stainless stell" pan (brand new) was ruined. It's been several hours and smoke still hasn't subsided. Don't use medium or high heat with olive oil.

Perfect! Didn't need the full 5 minutes on the second side depending on the thickness of my filet. Yum!

No lemons, but still good! I added garlic powder also.

A basic, simple way of preparing salmon that's fool-proof. Omitting the capers doesn't hurt at all.

I just finished this dish 10 minutes ago served with the roasted brussel(s) sprouts recipe from this site and a salad of lettuce/walnuts/apples/blueberries with a balsamic vinaigrette. I followed the directions almost precisely. Based on other reviewer recommendations, I sprinkled the fillets with dill, garlic, and lemon juice before I coated the fish in olive oil. I also added the capers last. One of the best meals I have had ever. Thank you so much!

Very good, I sprinkled garlic powder and italian seasoning after brushing with oil. I also added the capers at the end as the smushed. Very tasty with risotto and garlic green beans.

EXCELLENT! Fast and yummy! Sprinkled a bit of dill on salmon too. Covered as others have mentioned. Five minues total cooking time. Perfect, flaky, and healthy!
