Salmón fácil a la plancha

Ingredientes

• 1 pound salmon (cut into 4 pieces)
• Salt & pepper (to taste)
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 1 tablespoon butter

Preparación

1. 1

   Take the salmon out of the fridge 15-20 minutes before starting the recipe if you can. Cut the salmon into 4 equal pieces and pat it dry with paper towel. Season each piece generously with salt & pepper.

2. 2

   Add the olive oil and the butter to a skillet over medium-high heat. Let the skillet heat up for a few minutes.

3. 3

   Cook the salmon (skin-side down) for 5 minutes, then reduce the heat to medium and flip it over and cook for another 2-4 minutes or until it's cooked through (it'll take a little longer if your salmon is more than 1" thick, and less if thinner than 1"). Keep in mind the salmon will continue to cook a bit even after taking it out of the skillet, so don't overdo it.

4. 4

   To serve, it's delicious with fresh lemon juice squeezed over top, and there's more suggestions in the blog post. If you're not a fan of the skin (it's crispy and delicious if you eat it right away), it's easy to peel off once it's cooked.
