Author's Notes

Make sure you have a fish spatula handy. It has more bend than a normal metal spatula which enables you to get under a delicate piece of fish more easily.

Cooking Instructions

HIDE IMAGES
Step 1
Heat your pan over medium heat WITHOUT OIL. As the pan heats up, pat the Salmon Fillets (1 in) dry with a paper towel.
Step 2
Add Vegetable Oil (3 Tbsp) . Don't be afraid to add more if you are using a large pan.
Step 3
Immediately after adding the oil, lay the skin-side of the salmon fillet down away from you. Season the top with Kosher Salt (1 pinch) and Freshly Ground Black Pepper (1 pinch) . Cook for 3 to 4 minutes.
Step 4
Flip the Salmon Fillet (1) cook for another 3 minutes for medium rare.
Step 5
Serve and enjoy!
