so. i'd recommend 2 or 3 things
1. always cook skin down first, for 6-8min and then finish in oven.
2. cut into steaks vs fillet, so it would be easier to flip
3. make sure salmon is very dry when you put into skillet
and in the end, having non stick for just fish and eggs is not a bad idea. i have few non stick too for certain things as well..

I had a chuckle reading your response (in a good way).
Don't want to have to clean the oven as well since I already have to clean the cooktop with the extra oil splattering (some splatter even with a splatter guard as you have to lift it up at some point).
Don't like fish steak vs filet as less crispy skin.
Drying fish/meat before searing. Checked. Probably overdoing if that is possible as we go thru a lot of paper towel just prior to searing and clean up due to not wanting excess used oil down the drain (reuse the paper towel used to dry for cleanup).
Just gave up and decided to use nonstick only for these fish and friend eggs.

that works. have you checked youtube for tips on how to cook fish in ss? I actually also use non stick. I have 5mm thick alum non stick, once that heats up, it really gives nice crust and keeps heat well.
$100 vs $250 on Amazon - deal is just too good and I'm sure it will last quite literally my whole life.
i have mafter borgeut paella pan, it's carbon steel and imo the best one out there. as for fry pan, many are around.. i prefer thicker ones, like de buyer, etc...

#1 - 12" Frying Pan with Lid - Primary workhorse?

#2 - 2-qt Sauce Pan with Lid - Sauces and Soups?

#3 - 8-qt Stockpot - Not really sure what I'd use this for other than maybe pasta?

I waffled back-and-forth about a 4 quart "Essential" or "Weekday" pan, as I've been wanting a saucier, and they are very similar. However, Cutlery and More is selling the Demeyere Industry5 and 5-plus 3.5 quart sauciers for $100 right now, so I think I'll go that way:

(Yes, I know I post Cutlery and More links frequently. I swear I'm just a satisfied customer. In this case, it's totally by chance, too -- these just came up in my comparison searches.)

ā#2 - 2 quarts is really small if it's going to be your only sauce pan. The 4 qt pan you had before was more versatile, but it really depends on what you plan to make in it. If you were only going to have 1 sauce pan, I recommend 3.5 or 4 quarts, either in sauce pan or saucier form (the Essential pan, Weeknight pan, and Chef's pan are basically just sauciers). Consider the 3.5 quart Demeyere I posted above, too.
#3 - good pot, sure. I honestly don't use my 8 qt stock pot nearly as much as I do an enameled cast iron Dutch oven, though. You don't really need a gallon of water to cook a pound of pasta, and a Dutch oven can do a lot. It's probably my most used pot, actually. 5-7 quarts is a good large-but-not-huge size. You can get a Lodge or Tramontina enameled cast iron Dutch oven for $40-60 depending on how long you can wait. Le Creuset and Staub are the premium ones, but it's definitely diminishing returns on the cost there. For a stock pot, I'd much rather go big, 12+ quarts, and only if you plan to actually make big pots of stock or soup with it.
Remember -- you can always put less in a bigger pot, but not more in a smaller one. If you're only going to have 1, go as big as you'll need. It's good to have a couple of sizes of pans, though, because too much empty pan space can lead to burning. So there, go with the size you'll use most, as you can always cook in batches.
I'll get a cheap non-stick elsewhere for eggs, grilled cheese, etc.
