Pan-Seared Salmon Filets
Ingredients:
Six 6-ounce center-cut salmon fillets with skin
2 tbl pure olive oil
Salt and freshly ground pepper
Lemon wedges, for serving
Directions:
Set 2 large, heavy skillets over moderate heat for 3 to 4 minutes. Put the salmon fillets on a platter and coat with the olive oil. Season with salt and pepper. Add 3 fillets to each skillet, flesh side down. Cook over high heat until deeply browned about 3 minutes. Turn the fillets and cook until the skin is deeply browned and crisp, about 5 minutes. Transfer the fillets to plates and serve with lemon wedges.
(The sauce can be refrigerated for several hours.)
Dress it up: Make lemon-herb butter and spread the butter over the salmon.
