How to cook

Prepare salmon fillet

Wash & dry the salmon fillet with a kitchen towel and season the skin of the fish with salt.

Start cooking

Heat the pan over medium heat for 3-5 minutes.
Add enough oil to coat the bottom of the pan.
Place the fish skin-side down in the pan, away from you so the oil does not splash.
Using a spatula, gently press down on the salmon to ensure the skin gets crispy.
Do not flip the salmon prematurely, otherwise the skin will stick to the pan.
Cook the salmon skin-side down for 5 minutes.
Season the top of the fish with salt and flip it over to cook for another 30 seconds to 1 minute.
Serve & enjoy!
