Yield Makes 1 fillet

Number Of Ingredients 3

Fish fillet (such as red snapper), skin on
Coarse salt and freshly ground black pepper
Olive oil

Steps:

  • Using a skillet that is just large enough to hold fish, add enough oil to coat the bottom of the skillet; place over medium heat. Pat fish dry with paper towels and season skin side with salt and pepper.
  • Place fish in skillet, skin side down, and let cook about 7 minutes. Do not touch fish. Season flesh side with salt and pepper. If skin begins to curl, lightly tap down on fish, pressing skin flat against the skillet.
  • Gently turn fish over and continue cooking, flesh side down, until just cooked through.
