Ingredients
- 4 filets (6 ounces each) salmon, skin-on, patted dry
- ½ teaspoon kosher salt
- ½ teaspoon black pepper
- 1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
- ½ cup cowboy butter, softened
Instructions
- Season the salmon filets with salt and pepper on both sides.
- Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot, place the salmon filets in the skillet, skin-side down if. Cook for 4–5 minutes, or until the salmon releases easily from the pan and develops a golden crust.
- Flip the filets and cook for another 2–4 minutes, depending on thickness, until cooked through and the internal temperature reaches 125–130°F for medium, or 135°F for well-done.
- During the last minute of cooking, spoon 2–3 tablespoons of cowboy butter over each filet. Let it melt and sizzle into the pan. Use a spoon to baste the salmon with the butter.
- Remove from heat and let the salmon rest for 2 minutes.
- Serve warm with additional melted cowboy butter spooned over the top, if desired.
