It's ATK's method from their show a few weeks ago.

1 qt. Cold water
1/2 c. Kosher salt

Brine 5 oz. or 6 oz. filets for 15 minutes, then dry. The brine seasons it, but also keeps the salmon from leaking albumin as it cooks and keeps it moist.

In a cold skillet, sprinkle some salt and pepper and lay the fillets skin side down. Season top with salt and pepper.

Heat to medium-high and let cook without moving for 5-6 minutes or until the skin is brown and crispy and the bottom 1/4 inch or so is opaque.

Flip and cook for another 4-5 minutes. Target 125 degrees for farmed salmon or 120 for wild.

Plate skin side down and let rest for a few minutes covered.
