The Best Grilled Salmon

Note: You will need a cast iron skillet or an ovenproof pan that can move from stove top to the oven for this recipe (or 2 separate pans ready to go) or a grill. This technique is so flavorful and easy to do; it’s my favorite way to cook seafood. Alternatively, you can also bake your fish (or chicken) in the oven at 375.

Ingredients

1 large or 2 smaller pieces of wild salmon halibut or rockfish

Instructions

Preheat oven to 400. Melt some olive oil in a cast iron skillet on medium-high heat. Let the pan warm up for
2- 3 minutes until it’s very hot. Sprinkle fish with sea salt and pepper. Place face down (salmon skin side up)
and shake the pan briefly so the fish doesn’t stick.
Let cook for 2 minutes. Flip fish, then place skillet in the oven for 6 minutes.
