Heat olive oil in a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat. Once the pan is hot, add your seasoned salmon fillets to the skillet skin-side down. Cook for about 4-5 minutes until the skin is crispy and golden brown.
Use a spatula to flip your salmon fillets over and cook for an additional minute or two on the other side until it’s cooked through but still moist.
Step 3 – Serving:
Remove your cooked salmon from the pan and place it onto a plate with some lemon wedges for squeezing on top of your fish before serving.
