Ingredients
Instructions
- Step 1
First, preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
- Step 2
Pat the salmon fillets dry with paper towels to remove any excess moisture. This will help the salmon sear better.
- Step 3
Season both sides of the salmon fillets with salt and pepper.
- Step 4
Place a cast iron skillet on the stovetop over medium high heat. Add the olive oil or melted butter to the skillet and swirl it around to coat the bottom evenly.
- Step 5
Once the skillet is hot (but not smoking), carefully place the salmon fillets in the pan, skin side down if using skin-on fillets. Be cautious of any oil splatters.
- Step 6
Cook the salmon on the stovetop for about 2 to 3 minutes to get a nice sear on the bottom. You should see a golden crust forming.
- Step 7
Flip the salmon fillets using a spatula and transfer the skillet to the preheated oven.
- Step 8
Let the salmon finish cooking in the oven for about 6 to 8 minutes, depending on the thickness of the fillets. The internal temperature of the salmon should reach 135°F for doneness.
- Step 9
Remove the skillet from the oven and let the salmon rest for a minute or two before serving.
- Step 10
Finally, garnish with fresh herbs. Serve with lemon wedges.
