Instructions

1
Pat the salmon fillets dry with paper towels and season both sides with the 1/2 tsp salt.
2
Heat the olive oil in a 12-inch skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering. Place the salmon fillets skin-side up and sear undisturbed for 4 minutes, until the flesh is golden and releases easily from the pan. Flip and cook for another 3–4 minutes, until the salmon reaches an internal temperature of 145°F (63°C) on an instant-read thermometer. Transfer to a plate and tent loosely with foil.
