Seared Salmon Fillets
This easy technique yields delicious results.
Ingredients:
- 2 teaspoons olive oil
- 2 (7-ounce) salmon fillets, skin-on
- coarse salt
- caper-lemon butter or other compound butter, for serving
Directions:
- Preheat oven to 350°F. Heat a medium ovenproof nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add olive oil.
- Pat salmon dry with paper towels. Season the flesh-side of the salmon with salt.
- When the oil is hot, add salmon skin-side down. Sear until the skin is golden brown and crispy, about 5 minutes.
- Turn and transfer to oven and cook until a cake tester or tip of a paring knife is just warm to the touch when inserted into the middle of the salmon; about 5 minutes for medium-rare and 9 minutes for fully cooked through.
- Let rest for 2 minutes, then serve immediately topped with a pat of compound butter.
