Recipe Yield

2 servings

Ingredients

4 (5-ounce) centre-cut salmon fillets (about 1-inch-thick), skin on or off

2 tablespoons olive oil

Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper

Instructions

Wash and bring the salmon to room temperature 10 minutes before cooking.
Season the fish with salt and pepper.

3. Warm a large nonstick skillet with oil over medium-low heat.

4. Place the salmon, skin-side up in the pan and raise the heat to medium-high.

5. Cook until golden brown on 1 side, about 4 minutes. Turn the fish over with a spatula, and cook until it feels firm to the touch and the skin is crisp if desired, about 3 minutes more.

6. The skin can be served or removed easily with a knife or spoon.

Put it on a plate and serve as desired.
