to sear the salmon, salt and pepperize the salmon. heat the oil and butter in a skillet. place the salmon skin side down and fry on medium heat for 2 minutes. turn it over and fry the other side for another 2 minutes. gently flip it back to the skin side and fry for another minute. plate it and serve with herbed mayo sauce on the side or over the salmon.
