I tried cooking fish for the first time in my life and I went with the "crispy skin salmon" recipe which seemed very simple and I like salmon.
But it didn't go as well as I thought
In all the videos I see people easily slice through the skin to open a gash and put salt in it, but I tried it and it wouldn't slice until the third time, at which point it would open a large cut all the way across, not just in the center.
The second thing that went wrong was the crispiness, I let my olive oil get really warm before putting it in the pan (and it sizzled immediately) but it still didn't get very crispy, and it didn't get as much color on the other side either (nowhere near pic related).
I kept it in the pan skin-side for about 5 minutes, and then flipped it on its flesh for about 1 minute. It was moist and soft and didn't dry up at all, it just didn't make a crispy crust on either side.
Also, I really felt the salmon's fattyness at some spots, could that be related to not being crispy enough?
It was still great just not as good as it looked in other people's videos. I'm wondering if I did it wrong.
