Step 1

Pre-heat oven to 450 Fahrenheit and place 12-inch cast iron skillet in the oven to heat up.

Step 2

Use a paper towel to pat both sides of salmon dry. If the skin is wet, it won't get crispy.

Step 3

Season the salmon skin with kosher salt.

Step 4

Carefully, remove hot pan from the oven and melt ghee in the pan.

Step 5

Add salmon, skin side down, to the pan. You want to hear a sizzling sear when it hits the pan. Season top of salmon with a little more salt and black pepper and place in the oven for about 15 minutes.*

Step 6

Once the salmon is opaque and flaky and opaque, it's ready to serve. I usually just stick a fork in and twist to make sure my salmon is done.

Step 7

Serve and enjoy!
