Perfectly Seared Simple Salmon

This salmon has been a go-to for me and my family for years. The recipe is super simple, but the method is where the magic happens. What’s so great about this is that it tastes and looks like it was professionally cooked in a restaurant and works well served with anything you want. I love to eat this with roasted veggies or a simple salad.
