Ingredients

  • 1 tablespoon salted butter

  • 1 tablespoon olive oil

  • 1 (1 pound) fillet skin-on salmon

  • 2 teaspoons Greek seasoning (such as Cavender's®)

  • 2 tablespoons chopped pecans

Directions

  1. Set a cast iron skillet over high heat. Add olive oil and butter. When butter melts, swirl the skillet to combine oil and butter.

  2. Sprinkle salmon fillet with Greek seasoning. Carefully add fillet to skillet and reduce heat to medium-low. Cover skillet with a tempered glass lid and cook until salmon flakes easily with a fork, about 12 minutes.

  3. Add pecans to the skillet and toast lightly, 1 to 2 minutes.

  4. Remove salmon from skillet and serve immediately topped with pecans.
