Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 4 fresh salmon fillets, skin-on, center-cut (about 6 oz each)
  • 1 tablespoon seasoned salt
  • 1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 tablespoon butter or olive oil
  • Fresh lemon wedges, for serving

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Salmon: Pat the salmon fillets dry with paper towels to remove excess moisture, which is key for achieving a crispy sear. Season both sides generously with seasoned salt, freshly ground black pepper, and garlic powder.
  2. Heat the Pan: Preheat a heavy skillet over medium-high heat, then add a tablespoon of butter or olive oil. Wait until the fat is shimmering but not smoking to ensure the salmon cooks evenly and quickly.
  3. Sear the Salmon: Place the salmon fillets skin-side down in the hot skillet, pressing gently with a spatula to prevent curling. Cook for about 4 to 5 minutes until the skin is golden and crisp, then carefully flip and cook the other side for 3 to 4 minutes until the salmon is just cooked through.
  4. Finish and Serve: Remove the salmon from the pan and let rest for a couple of minutes. Serve immediately with fresh lemon wedges to squeeze over the top for a bright, zesty finish.

Notes

  • Use fresh, high-quality salmon for optimal flavor and texture.
  • Don’t overcrowd the pan; cook fillets in batches if necessary to maintain high heat.
  • Be patient and avoid flipping the salmon too soon to form a strong crust.
  • Maintain medium-high heat to get a nice sear without burning.
  • Let the salmon rest briefly to allow juices to redistribute for maximum tenderness.
