The is hands down one of the best ways to make salmon. Crusty outside, flaky inside, and served with easy mashed sweet potatoes. This recipe is super simple and amazingly delicious. One of my favorites!

Ingredients
1filletSalmonTake the skin off if it isn't already, check for bones.
1tbspOlive OilPut this in the pan while it's heaing up
1tbspLemon Pepper Seasoning or SaltYou can use any seasoning of choice.
Instructions
Warm up the cast iron pan on medium heat and put the olive oil in the pan.
Pat the salmon dry with a paper towel. This will prevent splattering when salmon is placed in the pan.
Gently place salmon in the cast iron pan and shake your seasoning on top.
Set timer for 4 minutes. Look for HALF of the salmon to turn a light pink.
Flip salmon over after the 4 minutes and let cook for another 2 minutes.
After 2 - 3 minutes, removed salmon from the pan. Turn off the stove.
Notes
The calories are based on the salmon and the olive oil. This goes great with mashed sweet potatoes. Simply bake the sweet potato at 350 degrees for about 50 - 60 minutes. When they are soft, take them out and peel the skin off. Place in the bowl and mix them with butter. Add a pinch of salt and dive in!
