Heat the coconut oil in a 12-inch skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering. Add the salmon fillets skin-side down and cook undisturbed for 4 minutes, until the skin is golden and crisp and the flesh has turned opaque about halfway up the sides. Flip and cook for 2ā3 minutes more, until the salmon reaches 145Ā°F (63Ā°C) on an instant-read thermometer at the thickest part. Transfer to a plate and tent loosely with foil.
