Step 1

Pat salmon filet dry.

Step 2

Coat the flesh side with a 1/2 tbsp of olive oil, and then sprinkle on a small amount of salt and pepper.

Step 3

Next, flip the filet over so it’s skin side up, and coat in olive oil salt and pepper.

Step 4

Set a pan over medium-low heat, and add around a 1/2 tablespoon of olive oil to it.

Step 5

Heat the oil until it’s hot, and then add the salmon to it skin side down. Cook like this until 80% -of the fish has been cooked - around 7 minutes, or around 100°F.

Step 6

Flip the fish over and cook it flesh side down until the remaining 20% fully cooks - around 2-3 minutes or 130°F.

Step 7

Remove it from the heat, and let it rest skin side up for a couple of minutes before serving. The skin will keep the juices trapped inside the salmon as it cools.

Step 8

Serve flesh side up, and top with lemon juice to taste.
