Can't take credit for this one! Although I can add some pointers based on what I observed:
Start with about 2 lbs. of salmon fillets, skin on.
Use a nonstick pan.
We used our cast iron which normally is great, but even with EVOO in the pan, the skin got stuck a bit too much. So go with a nonstick for this one.
In the pan, heat EVOO and about a clove of minced garlic. Put the fillets in, skin side up and sear for about 3-4 minutes. Add a splash of lemon juice.
Turn the fillets over to be skin side down, cook for another 3-4 minutes, and season with black pepper. He said this was a total cooking time of about 8 minutes.
And that's it! The searing should look like gray on the pink of the salmon. Add another splash of lemon juice when serving.
We had a side of wild rice, but any quinoa, potato or salad would work too. Fyi, this will leave a lingering smell in your house so do it when you can open windows.
