Instructions
- Step 1: Prepare the Salmon - Begin by cutting the salmon into bite-sized pieces, about 1 to 1.5 inches in size. Pat the salmon dry with paper towels.
- Step 2: Season the Salmon - Sprinkle the salmon pieces generously with salt and pepper, massaging to ensure they’re evenly seasoned.
- Step 3: Heat the Skillet - In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium-high heat until hot but not smoking.
- Step 4: Sear the Salmon - Add the seasoned salmon bites to the skillet in a single layer. Sear for about 2-3 minutes on each side until golden brown.
