Ingredients
- 2x oz Salmon Fillets, de-boned, de-scaled, skin-on
- salt and pepper to taste
- high smoke point oil canola, grapeseed, avocado, etc.
Instructions
- Pat dry on both sides, to make sure your salmon doesn't stick, gets crispy and is perfectly cooked.
- Season on both sides with salt and pepper and then let it rest on the counter about 10 minutes. This is important so that the salt can penetrate the salmon. Also, sitting out for a little bit ensures that the salmon isn't too cold from the fridge.
- Heat the pan over medium-high heat. When it's hot, drizzle with the oil. Make sure there's enough oil in the pan so the salmon crisps and cooks evenly.
- Add the salmon to the hot skillet, skin side down and sear. Do not touch the fish or move it around until the flesh starts to whiten up and look opaque (like the images above in the post), 6-8 minutes, depending on how thick your salmon fillet is.
- Flip flesh side down and cook the same way, approximately 1-3 minutes, depending on how crispy on top you like.
- Once cooked through, serve immediately with your favorite side dishes.
Bom Apetite!!
