Pan Seared Salmon



(For best results use a cast iron pan that's been seasoned)

Salmon Filets
Salt/Pepper
Olive Oil

Warm a cast iron skillet (or non-stick fry pan) on medium to medium high heat until the pan is hot. (Water droplets skip).

Spray olive oil in the pan and add the skinless salmon filets. DO NOT MOVE the salmon for 4 minutes. The salmon is searing and will release from the pan once it's seared. If you move it too soon it will stick.

Flip the salmon and cook for another 3-4 minutes on the 2nd side.

Remove the salmon from the pan and let it rest 2-3 minutes before serving.

SERVE with steamed spinach or rice or asparagus or cucumbers marinated with rice vinegar and salt.

ALSO in PHOTO--Sour Cream, Green Onions and rice vinegar ---mixed together to make a savory sauce. (You can also add dill to this sauce--yummy with Salmon)
