Step 1

Season the salmon with salt and pepper.

Step 2

Heat the oil in a 12-inch nonstick skillet over medium-high heat until hot and shimmering.

Step 3

Cook the salmon, skin side up, until golden and crisp, about 4 minutes. Letting the fish sear untouched in hot oil creates that lovely, flavorful, golden crust. Flip the fillets and reduce the heat to medium.

Step 4

Mix the pineapple bomb hot sauce, sesame seeds and cilantro. Stir to combine well. Set aside.

Step 5

Continue cooking until done to your liking, 4 to 5 minutes more.

Step 6

Transfer the salmon onto a serving platter, add the hot sauce mix on top of the salmon and serve immediately.
