INGREDIENTS

  • 4 salmon filets skin on
  • 1 tablespoon oil

INSTRUCTIONS

  1. Season salmon with salt and pepper.
  2. Add oil to a large skillet over medium high heat.
  3. Once hot add in the salmon skin side down.
  4. Cook salmon for 5-7 minutes on skin side (depending on size).
  5. Very carefully flip salmon. If the skin is sticking to the pan give it more time to cook. It should release easily from the pan.
