Serves 4
Time 10 min

Deliciously simple, almost foolproof and ready in 10 minutes: what more could you ask for? This is a great introduction on cooking salmon for novices, but it's also a good basic recipe that invites more complex toppings: salsas, sauces or herb butters.

Method

Heat oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Season salmon with salt and pepper; add skin-side up to pan. Sear until browned on the bottom and salmon no longer sticks to pan, 2 to 3 minutes. Use a spatula to turn salmon and sear other side until the skin is browned and the salmon reaches desired doneness, 3 to 4 minutes for medium. Remove salmon from skillet; drizzle with olive oil, sprinkle with lemon juice and serve.
