Crispy-skinned salmon fillets are pan-seared in a covered cast iron skillet for a perfect blend of saltiness and tenderness.

Ingredients:

3 (8 ounce) center-cut salmon fillets, with skin
1 teaspoon garlic-pepper seasoning
0.5 teaspoon dried dill weed
1 tablespoon salt

Instructions:

Dry fillets with a paper towel and place in a baking dish, skin-side down. Season with garlic-pepper and dill. Flip fillets and generously rub salt over the skin. Cover the dish and let it rest on the counter for 15 to 20 minutes.
Begin by heating oil in a large cast iron skillet until it shimmers slightly. Then, lower the heat to medium-high and add the butter. Once the butter has melted, place the fillets in the skillet skin-side down. Cover and cook until the fish easily flakes with a fork, about 7 to 9 minutes, adjusting for thickness. Using a metal spatula, carefully remove the fillets and serve promptly.
