Ingredients
Scale
4 salmon fillets (about 6–8 oz each)
2 tablespoons olive oil or avocado oil
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
lemon wedges, fresh herbs (such as dill, parsley, or chives), or a simple sauce (like lemon butter or teriyaki)
Instructions
Begin by patting the salmon fillets dry with a paper towel. Season the salmon generously with salt and pepper on both sides.
Heat a large, nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Once the pan is hot, add the oil and swirl to coat the bottom.
Carefully place the salmon fillets, skin-side down, in the hot pan. Cook for 4-5 minutes, or until the skin is crispy and golden brown.
Use a spatula to gently flip the salmon fillets. Cook for an additional 4-6 minutes, depending on the thickness of the fillets, until the salmon is opaque and flakes easily with a fork.
Remove the pan from the heat and transfer the salmon fillets to a clean plate. Allow the salmon to rest for 5 minutes before serving.
