Ingredients

  1. salmon fillet - watch the video to see (skin on, fresh)
  2. oil - watch the video to see (for searing, heat slightly before adding salmon)

Instructions

  1. Heat the oil: Heat the oil slightly in the pan before adding the salmon to ensure proper searing.
  2. Place salmon skin-side down: Place the salmon in the pan with the skin side down to get it crispy, cooking about 90% of the time on this side.
  3. Cook mostly on skin side: Cook the salmon about 2.5 to 3 minutes on the skin side until the heat has traveled about one-third through the fish.
  4. Flip the salmon: Turn the salmon over and cook for the remaining 10% of the time on the flesh side, watching for the line of doneness to disappear.
  5. Rest the salmon: Remove the salmon from heat and let it rest for about half the time a steak would rest (approximately 2.5 to 3 minutes) to allow heat to dissipate evenly.
