Ingredients:

• 4 salmon fillets (about 6 oz each)

• Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions:

1. Season the salmon fillets with salt and pepper.

2. Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat.

3. Place the fillets in the skillet, skin-side down, and cook for 4-5 minutes on each side, depending on thickness, until the fish is crispy on the outside and cooked through.
