Instructions
  1. Cut salmon into single serving sizes if needed. Brush or rub about 1 teaspoon oil over each side of each fillet.
  2. Season the flesh side with salt and pepper. Optionally, add one of the other herbs or spices listed, or follow the recipe you’re using.
  3. Heat skillet over medium heat. Once hot, add the salmon, flesh side down. Cook about 2 minutes or until slightly browned. Turn over and cook another 1-2 minutes on the skin side (or other flesh side). If needed, turn so the sides are down and cook about 30 seconds on each side. This is only necessary if the fillets are thick.
  4. Transfer fillets to a plate and cover with foil. Let rest for about 5 minutes. They will continue to cook a little and become juicier.
  5. Serve with the first cooked side up, or whichever side is more attractive.
