Ingredients

The following ingredients have 4 Servings
  • 4 salmon filets skin (about 6 ounces each)
  • Salt and black pepper
  • 2 tbsp butter (use ghee for Paleo and Whole30)

Instruction

  • Heat your cast iron skillet over medium heat. Pat salmon dry with paper towel and season both sides with salt and pepper.
  • When your skillet is near smoking, add in the butter, let it melt for 30 seconds.
  • Add in the salmon (skin side down). Let the salmon cook without moving. It’s about 5 minutes depending on how thick your salmon fillet is.
  • Flip, and cook for 2 more minutes. You know when it’s time to flip when the sides of the salmon look about 2/3 opaque and cooked through.
  • Remove from the pan and set it aside (skin side up). Enjoy!
