Easy Peasy Salmon

Directions

1. 1
   Preheat the oven to 400 F. In a stainless steel (or other oven safe) skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat.
2. 2
   While the oil is getting warm, season the salmon fillets with salt, pepper and dill.
3. 3
   Once the oil is smoking and rippling, throw the salmon fillets skin-side down into the pan and dont touch them for at least 3 minutes.
4. 4
   Once the 3 minutes are up, its time to flip over the salmon.
5. 5
   Since the pan was nice and hot, your salmon should flip without a problem.
6. 6
   However, if it starts to stick, just let the salmon cook a little longer until it releases from the pan.
7. 7
   Cook the salmon on the other side for about 2 minutes, or until that side releases from the pan as well.
8. 8
   Flip the salmon back over to the skin side and place the whole pan in the oven for approximately 5 minutes.
9. 9
   I say approximately because I usually check for doneness around 2 minutes or so by pushing on it slightly with my finger.
10. 10
    If it springs back, but still feels a little squishy, youre good to go.
11. 11
    I like to serve the fish with a lemon wedge, but you can go the naughty (yummy) route and serve it up with some dill sauce.

    Enjoy!
