5. Flip the Salmon over & sear over medium high heat, shaking the pan often so it dosen't stick for about 3 to 5 minutes. Do Not go for more than 5 minutes as it will start to fall apart & be simply impossible to turn back over!

6. Cover pan tightly with foil and put in hot oven for 15 to 20 minutes depending on thickness of cut.

7. Uncover Salmon & turn up the oven to 425 for an additional 5 to 7 minutes checking often to get just the right blackened color.

8. You can see how in this final picture the Salmon started to flake open, this is a sure sign of it being done, serve with fresh lemon wedges. We had our Salmon with a side of white rice & a simple salad & it was Delicious!
