Indoor-Grilled Salmon

• Four 5-ounce center-cut salmon fillets (about 1-inch-thick), skin-on
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper

1. Bring the salmon to room temperature 20 minutes before grilling.
2. Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F. Set a large cast-iron grill pan over low heat and pre-heat for 1 minute.
3. Meanwhile, brush the salmon lightly with the oil and season with salt and pepper.
4. Raise the heat under the grill pan to medium-high.
5. Place the salmon, skin-side up on the grill, at an angle across the ridges of the pan.
6. Cook until the fish has distinctive grill marks, about 3 minutes.
7. To make cross-hatched grill marks, use a spatula to re-position the fillets about 45 degrees (keep the skin-side up).
8. Cook 2 minutes more.
9. Turn the salmon over, and transfer the grill pan to the oven.
10. Continue cooking the fish in the oven for 2 to 3 minutes for pink inside, 5 minutes for medium, and 7 minutes for well done.
11. Remove the fish from the pan, and let rest for 2 minutes, to finish cooking.
12. (If the skin comes loose during cooking, you may remove and discard it before serving, if desired.)
13. Serve.
