Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Salmon

    Pat the Atlantic salmon fillets dry with paper towels. Season both sides with salt and black pepper.

  2. 2

    Heat the Pan

    Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat and add olive oil.

  3. 3

    Sear the Salmon

    Once the oil is hot, add the salmon fillets skin-side down. Cook for 4-5 minutes until the skin is crispy.

  4. 4

    Flip the Salmon

    Carefully flip the salmon and cook for another 3-4 minutes, or until the salmon is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork.

  5. 5

    Serve

    Remove the salmon from the skillet and serve with lemon wedges on the side.
