Restaurant-Style Pan-Seared Salmon

• servings: 4 servings
• active time: 5 minutes
• total time: 15 minutes

Ingredients

1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil

½ teaspoon kosher salt

Freshly ground black pepper

4 (6-ounce) salmon fillets, 1¼ in thick (I have my fish monger remove the skin, but it's fine to leave it on if you like)

Directions

Season the salmon with the salt and a few grinds of pepper. Heat the oil in a 12-inch nonstick skillet over medium-high heat until hot and shimmering. Cook the salmon, without moving, skin side up, until golden and crisp, about 4 minutes. Carefully flip the fillets and reduce the heat to medium. Continue cooking until done to your liking, 4 to 5 minutes more. Transfer to a platter and serve.
