Heat 1 tbsp of the olive oil in a 12-inch skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering. Add the fillets and cook undisturbed for 3–4 minutes, until the underside is golden and releases easily from the pan. Flip and cook for another 2–3 minutes, until the fish reaches 145°F (63°C) on an instant-read thermometer and flakes easily when pressed at the thickest point. Transfer to a plate and tent loosely with foil.
