Indoor-Grilled Salmon

1. 1

   Bring the salmon to room temperature 20 minutes before grilling.

2. 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. 3

   Meanwhile, brush the salmon lightly with the oil and season with salt and pepper.

4. 4

   Raise the heat under the grill pan to medium-high.

5. 5

   Place the salmon, skin-side up on the grill, at an angle across the ridges of the pan.

6. 6

   Cook until the fish has distinctive grill marks, about 3 minutes.

7. 7

   To make cross-hatched grill marks, use a spatula to re-position the fillets about 45 degrees (keep the skin-side up).

8. 8

   Cook 2 minutes more.

9. 9

   Turn the salmon over, and transfer the grill pan to the oven.

10. 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. 11

    Remove the fish from the pan, and let rest for 2 minutes, to finish cooking.

12. 12

    (If the skin comes loose during cooking, you may remove and discard it before serving, if desired.)

13. 13

    Serve.
