Getting perfectly browned, crisp skin is just a matter of mastering heat and moisture.
, offer some nonstick benefits. Even stainless steel, which isn't even remotely nonstick, works when you use the right technique.In the photo above are three pieces of snapper, which I cooked in three different skillets over the exact same heat setting on an induction range. As you can see, the cast iron and stainless steel produced very similar results; I'd say they're just about equal. The nonstick was close, but the skin wasn't quite as crisp as it was with the other two.
Why? Well, the main reason fish and other meats stick to pans is that, when raw, the proteins literally bond with the metal. For something like chicken or a steak, the meat is robust enough that even if it sticks, you can work it free without doing any real damage. Not so with fish. It's so delicate that if it fuses to the pan, there's a good chance the whole thing will tear to shreds as you try to free it.
When the oil is hot, I quickly season the fish all over with salt and pepper, then get ready to lower it, skin side down, into the pan—but I don't just drop it in. Instead, I like to test the waters first...or, I guess I should say, I like to test the oils. Without letting go of the fillet, I drag the fish across the surface of the pan, feeling for whether it's sticking or not. If the pan and oil are hot enough , the fish should glide across like a skater on ice.
