Preheat oven to 400°F/200°C. Heat a medium cast-iron pan over medium-high heat. Dry salmon fillets with paper towels and season with salt and pepper. Add oil to the pan and when shimmering, add the salmon fillets, skin-side down. Reduce heat to medium-low and cook until at least half the filet is starting to turn opaque (4-7 minutes).
