Ingredients
- 4 (5-ounce) center-cut salmon fillets (about 1-inch-thick), skin on or off
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
- Serving suggestions: honey mustard, horseradish mashed potatoes, mesclun greens
Directions
Bring the salmon to room temperature 10 minutes before cooking.
Warm a large nonstick skillet with oil over medium-low heat. Season the fish with salt and pepper. Raise the heat to medium-high. Place the salmon, skin-side up in the pan. Cook until golden brown on 1 side, about 4 minutes. Turn the fish over with a spatula, and cook until it feels firm to the touch and the skin is crisp if desired, about 3 minutes more.
The skin can be served or removed easily with a knife or spoon.
Transfer to a plate and serve as desired.

I actually just created an account on FN in order to post about this recipe. I made dish less than 15 minutes ago and I have to say that I'm actually shocked with how amazingly well it cooked in about 10 minutes cooking time. I added a bit of garlic salt to each side of the salmon filets, which didn't hurt the flavour at all. I never thought i'd make salmon in a pan and not on BBQ or in the oven. Give this a go, if you're in a hurry or not!
