Sprinkle salt on the salmon fillets.

Add black pepper to the salmon fillets.

Sprinkle Italian herbs on both sides of the salmon fillets.

Heat a skillet and add a little olive oil.

Place the salmon fillets in the skillet and sear them.

Cook the salmon for about 1 minute on one side until a quarter inch is cooked up the edge.

Flip the salmon over and sear the other side for about 1 minute.

Check the doneness by looking at the edges; it should start to fall apart when properly cooked.

If you prefer it more done, cook for an additional minute and a half on each side.

Serve the salmon with rice pilaf or vegetables.
