Ingredients
- 4 pieces Skin-on salmon fillets
- 1 whole Lemon
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Smoked paprika
- 1 as needed Olive oil spray
Directions
Step 1
Begin by patting the salmon fillets dry with a paper towel to remove any excess moisture. This will help achieve a crispy skin.
Step 2
Season both sides of the salmon fillets with salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and smoked paprika, making sure to evenly coat the fish.
Step 3
Cut the lemon into wedges and set aside for serving later.
Step 4
Preheat a non-stick frying pan over medium-high heat. When hot, lightly spray the pan with olive oil spray.
Step 5
Place the salmon fillets skin-side down in the pan. Cook for about 6-7 minutes without moving the fillets. This will allow the skin to become crispy.
Step 6
Carefully flip the salmon fillets and cook for an additional 3-4 minutes on the other side, or until the fish is cooked through and easily flakes with a fork.
Step 7
Remove the salmon from the pan and allow it to rest for 2 minutes.
Step 8
Serve the crispy pan-fried salmon immediately with lemon wedges on the side for an added burst of freshness.
