Cook the Salmon
Heat a skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the salmon fillets skin-side down. Cook for about 4-5 minutes until the skin is crispy, then flip and cook for an additional 3-4 minutes until cooked through and blackened. Remove from heat and let rest for a few minutes before flaking into large pieces.
