Instructions

  • Pat the salmon dry with a paper towel and season with salt and pepper. Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Place the salmon skin side down on the heated skillet and cook for 5-7 minutes until the salmon easily flips. Flip and continue cooking for 2-3 more minutes until fully cooked and flaking easily with a fork. Let cool, then remove and discard the skin and flake the salmon into bite-sized pieces.
