Sauté the Salmon
In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the salmon fillets, skin-side down. Cook for about 4-5 minutes until the skin is crispy. Flip the fillets and cook for an additional 3-4 minutes, or until the salmon is cooked through. Remove the salmon from the skillet and set aside.
