Ingredients

2 (3 ounce) fillets salmon, with skin
sea salt to taste
2 tablespoons olive oil

Instructions

Gather all the necessary ingredients. Rinse the salmon fillets and pat them completely dry with paper towels. Season generously with sea salt for enhanced flavor.
Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Place the salmon fillets, skin-side up, in the hot oil and cook until the flesh turns golden brown, approximately 5 to 7 minutes. Flip the fillets and continue cooking until the skin is slightly browned and crispy, about 5 minutes more.
Carefully remove the salmon fillets from the skillet using a slotted spatula, leaving the flavorful drippings behind.
Remove the skin from the cooked salmon fillets. Fry the skin in the remaining drippings in the skillet until it becomes perfectly crispy, about 2 to 3 minutes. Serve the crispy salmon skin alongside the pan-fried salmon fillets for a delightful culinary experience.
