Ingredients Method

Ingredients
  

  • 2 8 Ounce Salmon Filets
  • 1 Tablespoon Grapeseed oil or Canola Oil Or other oil with high smoke point
  • 1/2 Teaspoon Kosher salt
  • 1/4 Teaspoon Black Pepper

Method
 

  1. Heat oil in a medium non-stick skillet over high heat.
  2. Pat your salmon filets dry with a paper towel, on both sides. This step is key to getting a good sear. Season with salt.
  3. Place the filets flesh side down first, until slightly browned, about 1-2 minutes.
  4. Next, flip onto the skin side and allow to finish cooking for about 5-7 minutes, or longer depending on how you like your salmon cooked.
  5. Serve immediately.
