Center cut salmon fillet, 1 to 1.5 lb
1 tablespoon olive oil
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon pepper
Place your cast-iron skillet into a cold oven and heat to 450 degrees F.
While the pan is getting hot, brush the salmon with olive oil and sprinkle with the salt and pepper to taste. Once the oven and pan have come up to temperature, remove the pan and lay the fish skin side down.
Return the skillet to the oven and cook uncovered for 14-18 minutes, or until the internal temp of the fillet reads 125 degrees F (if you like it more done, just leave it in the oven a few more minutes). Remove from the pan and rest for 5 minutes. Cut the salmon into serving size pieces and serve.
This method can be used for skin-on whitefish, skin-on walleye, skin-on snapper, etc. The skin gets crispy and delicious!
