    How to Make Crispy Skin Salmon with Lemon

    1. Prep the Salmon

    Begin by patting the skin side dry with paper towels. Make sure to get as much moisture off of the skin as possible with the paper towel, this will help the skin crisp up better. Then, season on all sides with salt. ** Pro Tip - Leave your fish skin side up in the fridge on a towel lined tray overnight for the skin to dry naturally ** This will result in being able to cooking your fish gently.

    2. Cook the Salmon

    Place your pan over medium heat and add the avocado oil. Once the oil shimmers, place the salmon fillets skin side down in the pan. Press down gently on the fillets for a few seconds to ensure the skin is in full contact with the pan. Cook the salmon for 5-7 minutes, until the edges turn a golden hue and you can see the flesh of the salmon become opaque about 1/3 to 1/2 way up the side. Flip the salmon over carefully and cook for an additional 3-4 minutes, until the salmon feels slightly firm to the touch and warm in the center.

    3. Serve

    Remove the salmon from the pan and serve with a lemon wedge.
