Steps:
- Use the top of a knife (the spine) to remove the scales from the fillet if still intact. Run the knife a 45-degree angle against the skin to pop the scales off and discard.
- Cut the salmon into 4 even-sized fillets, about 2-inch wide, and 6 ounces in weight, if not already portioned.
- Thoroughly dry both sides of the salmon and skin with paper towels.
- Right before cooking, season both sides of the salmon with salt and pepper.
- Heat a 12-inch stainless steel, cast iron, or nonstick pan over medium heat until hot, about 2 minutes. Add the olive oil, then turn the heat to medium-high. Once the oil begins to shimmer, about 1 to 2 minutes, carefully add the salmon, skin-side down, one at a time. Using the back of a spatula, immediately press the fish down into the pan for about 10 seconds. This will help reduce the buckling of the skin. Add the remaining fillets to the pan, pressing each one down before adding the next piece. Reduce the heat to medium. Cook the salmon, occasionally pressing down on the flesh, until the skin is brown and crispy, and easily releases from the pan, about 5 to 6 minutes. The salmon will be about 75 to 80% cooked through.
- Use tongs to carefully flip the salmon over. Gently press the surface to make direct contact with the pan, do not move the fillets. Cook until the surface is golden brown, the edges are opaque, and the center is slightly translucent, about 1 to 2 minutes. The internal temperature should read 120°F (49°C) for medium-rare, or 130°F (54°C) for medium.
- Transfer the salmon to a paper towel-lined plate to drain the excess grease. Do not discard the pan.
- Use a boning knife to carefully remove the skin from the salmon if still intact. Cut the salmon into 4 even-sized fillets, about 2-inch wide, and 6 ounces in weight, if not already portioned.
- Thoroughly dry the surface of the salmon and skin with paper towels.
- Right before cooking, season both sides of the salmon with salt and pepper.
- Heat a 12-inch stainless steel, cast iron, or nonstick pan over medium heat until hot, about 2 minutes. Add the olive oil, then turn the heat to medium-high. Once the oil begins to shimmer, about 1 to 2 minutes, carefully add the salmon one at a time, flesh side down. Using the back of a spatula, immediately press the fish down into the pan for about 10 seconds. Add the remaining fillets to the pan, pressing each one down before adding the next piece. Reduce the heat to medium. Cook the salmon, occasionally pressing down on the flesh, until the surface is golden brown, crispy, and easily releases from the pan, about 4 to 5 minutes. The salmon will be about 75 to 80% cooked through.
- Using tongs, carefully flip the salmon over. Gently press the surface to make direct contact with the pan, do not move the fillets. Cook until the edges are opaque, and the center is slightly translucent, about 1 to 2 minutes. The internal temperature should read 120°F (49°C) for medium-rare, or 130°F (54°C) for medium.
- Transfer the salmon to a paper towel-lined plate to drain the excess grease. Do not discard the pan.
- Heat the same pan used to cook the salmon over medium heat. Add the garlic and lemon zest, saute for 30 seconds, until fragrant. Add the lemon juice, ½ teaspoon salt, and ¼ teaspoon black pepper. Stir and cook for 1 minute. Turn off the heat. Whisk in the butter until a lightly thickened emulsion is formed.
- Add the salmon back to the pan, garnish with dill leaves, parsley, and then drizzle with the lemon garlic sauce. Serve salmon with lemon wedges.

Steps:
- Pat salmon dry on both sides and sprinkle with kosher salt and black pepper.
- Make seasoning mix & season salmon. In small bowl, mix together the dry oregano, garlic powder and paprika. Season the flesh side of the fish with this spice mixture.
- Sear the Salmon. In a large cast iron skillet, heat 2 tbsp extra virgin olive oil over medium-high heat until shimmering but not smoking. Reduce the heat to medium-low and add one salmon fillet, skin-side down, and press the top with the back of a fish spatula for about 10 seconds (this prevents the skin from curling up.) Add the remaining salmon fillets, one at a time, pressing each with the spatula for 10 seconds. Cook for about 4 minutes. If skin resists lifting (or if it's sticking to the pan), allow the fish to cook for a little bit longer until you are able to lift up easily (no more than 6 minutes in total). Using the spatula and a fork to assist in flipping, flip the fish to the flesh side to cook for about 15 seconds or so. ( Salmon is ready when it registers 110°F (43°C) in the very center for rare, 120°F (49°C) for medium-rare, or 130°F (54°C) for medium, 5 to 7 minutes total.)
- Remove salmon from heat and immediately add lemon juice and lemon zest.
- Make arugula salad. In a bowl, add the baby arugula. Season with salt and add juice of ½ lemon and extra virgin olive oil. Toss to combine.
- Serve salmon with arugula salad (or any of the sides or salads suggested in the post). Enjoy!

PAN SEARED SALMON WITH LEMON BASIL PESTO
This is a salmon fillet served with a fresh pesto on top. You could use a store-bought pesto if you like, but homemade is so much better and so easy to do.

Steps:
- Heat a dry skillet, over medium heat, and lightly toast pine nuts (gently toss and shake pan occasionally); then place in a food processor.
- To the food processor, add basil and garlic; pulse just to combine.
- With processor running, drizzle in olive oil, and process, scraping down sides once or twice with a rubber spatula, to desired consistency (I like it sort of chunky).
- Add in Parmesan cheese, red pepper flakes, lemon juice, and salt and pepper to taste; pulse to combine; set aside.
- Wipe the salmon dry with paper towels (to allow a nice sear), then season lightly with salt and pepper.
- Heat the skillet, over medium-high heat, then spray with cooking spray.
- Cook salmon about 4 minutes per side or to desired doneness (I like it a little pinkish in the center since it will continue cooking a little when removed from the pan).
- Serve salmon with pesto spooned over top.
- Can also be served at room temperature.
