Ingredients Method

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)
  • 2 4 - 6oz Salmon fillets patted dry
  • Smoked paprika as needed
  • Garlic powder as needed
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Method
 

  1. Preheat oven to 375F
    Heat coconut oil in skillet over medium high heat. 
  2. Meanwhile, sprinkle salmon with paprika and garlic, add salt and pepper to taste.
  3. Once the oil is hot, place the salmon in the skillet skin side down and let cook about 2 minutes.
  4. 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)
  5. Once fish is done, remove from oven and serve.
  6. Enjoy!
