Cooking Instructions

Prepare the Salmon
Pat the salmon fillets dry with paper towels. This helps achieve a nice sear.
- 2
Season the Fillets
Sprinkle salt and black pepper evenly on both sides of the salmon fillets.
- 3
Heat the Oil
In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat until shimmering.
- 4
Sear the Salmon
Carefully place the salmon fillets in the skillet, skin-side down if applicable. Sear for 4-5 minutes without moving them to develop a nice crust.
- 5
Flip and Finish Cooking
Gently flip the fillets and cook for an additional 3-4 minutes or until the salmon is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork.
- 6
Add Lemon and Herbs
Squeeze fresh lemon juice over the salmon and sprinkle with chopped fresh herbs before serving.
