• Place a heavy, oven-proof 12-inch skillet on medium heat 5 minutes.
• Pour about 2 teaspoons olive oil into pan.
• Put salmon into the pan and brown.
• (If using fillet with skin, the skin side should be facing up.) Turn and pour melted jelly over salmon; season with salt and pepper.

• Or brown the salmon in 2 batches, transfer to a baking dish and bake.

SIMPLEST GRILLED SALMON

Steps:

• Build a medium-high fire on a clean gas or charcoal grill. (If the grill isn't clean, the salmon will stick to the grate.)
• Season the salmon with salt and pepper, lightly oil the grate of the grill, then place the fillets skin-side up over the fire and cook for about 2 to 3 minutes, until lightly browned.
• Gently flip the salmon over and cook 3 to 4 minutes more for medium rare. You can cook a little longer if you'd like, but take care not to overcook.

SWEET GLAZED SALMON

Steps:

• Heat 1/4 teaspoon olive oil in a small skillet over medium-high heat. Saute garlic in hot oil until just beginning to brown.
• Mix sauteed garlic, soy sauce, lemon juice, honey, 1/2 teaspoon olive oil, brown sugar, sea salt, black pepper, and red pepper flakes together in a bowl; pour into a large resealable plastic bag. Add salmon fillets, turning to coat with the marinade, squeeze bag to remove excess air, and seal the bag. Marinate in the refrigerator for 1 hour.
• Remove salmon from the marinade and shake to remove excess liquid. Reserve 3 tablespoons marinade and discard remainder.
• Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Arrange salmon fillets in the hot skillet, pour reserved marinade over the salmon, and place a lid on the skillet; cook until salmon is browned on each side and flakes easily with a fork, occasionally spooning liquid from the pan over the fillets, 2 to 3 minutes per side. Garnish salmon with additional sea salt and black pepper.
