Heat your pan without oil on medium heat. While the pan is heating, pat the salmon fillets (1 inch) dry with a paper towel.
Add Vegetable Oil
Immediately after adding the oil, place the salmon fillet skin side away from you. Sprinkle the top with kosher salt (1 pinch) and freshly ground black pepper (1 pinch). Cook for 3 to 4 minutes.
Flip the salmon fillet (1) and cook for another 3 minutes.
