Pan-sear your fish:
Difficulty level: Easy.
Best for: Skin-on fillets, like salmon, branzino, and mackerel.
Here's how to do it: Heat oil in a nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Place a seasoned fillet in the hot skillet (skin-side down, if applicable) and wait until the opaque color reaches two-thirds of the way up. Flip the fillet and continue cooking until completely opaque, about 2 to 4 minutes longer, depending on size.
Pro tip: If you're using a skin-on fillet, cut a few slits into the skin before searing it (aka scoring). This will prevent the edges from curling and achieve a crispy skin. See how to do it here.
