Step 1

Preheat a skillet over medium heat for 3-5 minutes (3 minutes for gas stoves, 5 for electric).

Step 2

Add enough oil to coat the bottom of the pan, about 1-2 tbsp. The oil should shimmer.

Step 3

Season the skin of the fish generously with salt, then test your piece of fish by touching the very end of it to the pan. If it makes a hissing sizzling noise, that means the pan is sufficiently hot. Go ahead and lay the fish down in the pan, always away from you so the oil doesn't splash.

Step 4

Let the salmon cook for 90% of the time on the skin side. The salmon I get is usually about an inch thick, so I cook it for 5 minutes on the skin side.

Step 5

Season the top of the fish with salt, then flip it over to cook for 15-30 seconds on the other side.

Step 6

Serve and enjoy!
