Golden carnivore salmon fillet with browned butter and soft-boiled eggs — **TooGut pick**Flexible, practical, genuinely delicious.

Carnivore does not have to mean mince on repeat. Salmon brings richness of its own, and eggs turn it into a complete plate. Browning the butter separately prevents burnt milk solids while the skin crisps.

One step at a time

Let’s cook.

Tick each step as you go. Built-in timers keep the important moments close.

Cook the jammy eggs

Lower eggs into simmering water and cook for 7 minutes. Transfer straight to iced water, peel and halve.

Dry the salmon

Pat the salmon skin extremely dry and salt both sides. Heat tallow in a heavy frying pan over medium-high heat.

Make the skin crisp

Place salmon skin-side down and press gently for 20 seconds so it stays flat. Cook for 5 to 7 minutes until the skin is crisp and the flesh is mostly opaque.

Turn once

Flip and cook the flesh side for 1 to 2 minutes, then rest on a warm plate.

Brown the butter

Wipe the pan. Add butter and swirl over medium heat until foaming, golden and nutty smelling. Spoon over salmon and serve with the eggs.
