SIMPLE PAN FRIED SALMON
The cooking times are for salmon cut into approximately 1.5 inch wide, 1.5 inch thick, and 6 inch long pieces, or a little larger. Cooking time may need to be adjusted for larger or thicker pieces. I usually cook with the skin side down first if it's not possible to cook it with the skin along the side.

Tips:
- Choose fresh, high-quality salmon fillets. Look for firm, bright-colored flesh with no signs of bruising or discoloration. - If using frozen salmon, thaw it properly in the refrigerator or under cold water. Never thaw salmon at room temperature. - Season the salmon fillets generously with salt and pepper before cooking. This will help to enhance their flavor. - Use a nonstick skillet or a well-seasoned cast iron skillet to cook the salmon. This will help to prevent the fish from sticking and breaking apart. - Heat the cooking oil over medium-high heat before adding the salmon fillets. This will help to sear the fish and create a crispy crust. - Cook the salmon fillets for 3-4 minutes per side, or until they are cooked through. The fish should be opaque in the center and flake easily with a fork. - Serve the fried salmon immediately with your favorite sides, such as roasted vegetables, mashed potatoes, or a simple green salad.Conclusion:
