Recipe View Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and bake until the salmon is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork, about 10-12 minutes, depending on the thickness of the fillets. (12 minutes)

For an extra layer of flavor, consider adding a pinch of red pepper flakes to the lemon-pepper mixture.
Ensure your skillet is screaming hot before adding the salmon to achieve the perfect blackened crust. A cast-iron skillet works wonders for this recipe.
If you prefer a more pronounced lemon flavor, zest half a lemon into the butter mixture.
Serve immediately with a side of roasted vegetables or a fresh salad for a complete and balanced meal.
