- Place a non-stick sauté pan over high heat and add high-temperature cooking oil. When the oil begins to smoke lightly, carefully place the salmon filets in the pan. Sear each side for approximately 1 minute. When searing the last side, add the butter and aromatics to the pan and spoon the aromatic butter over the salmon filets.1 tbsp High Temperature Oil: canola oil, grape seed oil, avocado oil, 1 tbsp Unsalted Butter, for basting (optional)
