Ingredients
2 salmon fillets , about 6 ounces each
1 teaspoon avocado oil , or olive oil
1 teaspoon butter , optional
Salt and Pepper
chopped parsley , optional
2 Tablespoons balsamic glaze , more if desired
Instructions
Bring salmon to room temp. Remove the salmon from the refrigerator and let rest for about 10 minutes before preparing. Do not use frozen salmon, it must be thawed. Then pat the fillets dry with a paper towel. Drizzle with olive oil and sprinkle salt and pepper over top.
Heat skillet. Heat 1 teaspoon butter and 1 teaspoon oil in a heavy bottom skillet over medium-high heat. Once the pan is hot, add the fillets, skin sides up. Let this side cook undisturbed for about 5 minutes. Turn the heat to medium if it's burning.
Cook salmon. Flip the salmon and then cook the opposite side for an additional 3 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 130°F. You can brush the balsamic glaze on the last couple minutes of cooking if desired. Remove to a plate and let rest a few minutes before serving.
Drizzle the balsamic glaze over the top just before serving and add fresh herbs if desired.
