Ingredients
  

  • 1 tbsp Coconut oil (I used refined but you may use unrefined if you like, or any other high heat neutral flavored cooking oil)

  • Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

  • Meanwhile, sprinkle salmon with paprika and garlic, add salt and pepper to taste.
  • Once the oil is hot, place the salmon in the skillet skin side down and let cook about 2 minutes.
  • Tilt the skillet and use a spoon to pour the oil over the tops of the fish, then place skillet in oven and cook to desired doneness 7 to 10 minutes (this will depend on how thick your fillet is, check at the 7 minute mark)
  • Once fish is done, remove from oven and serve.
  • Enjoy!
