Keep salmon skin-side up to preserve crispiness
  • Wash the salmon filet and pat dry with a paper towel.
  • If your cut of fish has pin bones, remove them.
  • Coat the salmon with olive oil, skin side as well.
  • Generously season fish with salt and pepper.
  • Using an oven safe skillet, on medium high heat, heat a little oil on the stove top. Check current prices for a stove top and oven safe cast iron skillet on Amazon.
  • When the oil is hot, add the salmon fillet skin side down and cook for 2-4 minutes –adjust time depending on the size of the fillet.
  • Transfer the skillet to the oven and continue cooking the salmon under the broiler for 1-3 minutes.
  • Remove the skillet from the stove and transfer salmon fillet to a plate, skin-side up …resting the fish skin-side down will cause the skin to lose it’s crispiness!
