🥗Healthier: avocado oil

💰Cheaper: vegetable oil

Lay the salmon out on foil to check for any bones.

Season the salmon fillet generously with a mix of magic salmon seasoning and seafood seasoning, using a 60/40 ratio.

Place the salmon skin side down in a pan.

Set the heat to a level that won't sear or burn the salmon.

Use 2 tablespoons of butter, allowing it to melt and distribute in the pan.

Once the butter is melted and sizzling, push the salmon away from the heat, skin side down.

Cook the salmon, flipping it after a while to remove the skin once it's seared perfectly.

Season the flesh side of the salmon after removing the skin.

Cover the pan to let the salmon simmer, checking regularly for doneness.

Cook for about three minutes, then check the salmon again before plating.
