Ingredients
Method
– Use a paper towel to thoroughly dry the fish on both sides.
– Season the fish with salt and pepper on both sides at least 45 minutes to several hours before cooking.
– Line the base of a cast iron or stainless-steel pan with a thin layer of oil. Once the oil is hot and smoky, reduce to medium-low heat and carefully place the salmon fillets into the oil skin-side down.
– Use a spatula to press down for approximately 10 seconds so that every inch of the skin is in contact with the oil which will ensure an even sear.
– Leave the fish to cook for at least 5 – 6 minutes, until you can see that the fillet is more than halfway cooked through, then flip it over on to the other side.
– Cook briefly on the second side; since the salmon is already mostly cooked at this point, you do not need more than 1 – 3 minutes on the second side, depending on how well-done you like your fish.
– Serve hot with roasted potatoes, vegetables or a side salad.
