About the Recipe
Ingredients
4 (5-ounce) center-cut salmon fillets (about 1-inch-thick), skin on or off
2 tablespoons olive oil
salt
freshly ground black pepper
Preparation
Step 1: Bring the salmon to room temperature 10 minutes before cooking.
Step 2: Warm a large nonstick skillet with oil over medium-low heat. Season the fish with salt and pepper. Raise the heat to medium-high.
Step 3: Place the salmon, skin-side down in the pan. Cook until golden brown and crisp on one side, about 4 minutes. Turn the fish over with a spatula, and cook until it feels firm to the touch, about 3 minutes more.
Step 4: The skin can be served or removed easily with a knife or spoon.
Step 5: Transfer to a plate and serve as desired.
