Bi-Level King Salmon Fillet
ACTIVE TIME: 5 minutes

Here, we're dealing with a nice, thick piece of fish, which means that if you desire a perfectly seared exterior and creamy center, you must perfect the dual-heat method. This application requires precision, so for the best results, you'll want to grab yourself an oven thermometer from your local hardware or kitchen supply store.
