Heat 1 tbsp of the olive oil in a 12-inch oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering. Place the salmon fillets skin-side up and sear undisturbed for 3–4 minutes, until the flesh is opaque about halfway up the sides and the seared surface is deep golden. Flip the fillets and cook for 2 minutes more, then transfer to a plate.
