CRACKED BLACK PEPPER SALMON
This is such a simple way to dress up salmon. The olive oil helps the pepper to crisp up in the oven, adding texture to the fish. Despite the amount of pepper on top, the spice is not overwhelming, just nice. You must use freshly ground black pepper for this, which is fairly coarse, not the powdered black pepper.

Tips:
- Choose a salmon fillet that is fresh and has a vibrant color. Avoid fillets that are dull or have brown spots.
- If you don't have cracked black peppercorns, you can use regular black peppercorns and crush them with a mortar and pestle or the bottom of a heavy skillet.
- To get a crispy skin on your salmon, make sure to pat it dry before cooking. You can also score the skin with a sharp knife to help the seasonings penetrate.
- Cook the salmon over medium heat so that it cooks evenly throughout. If you cook it over too high heat, the outside will burn before the inside is cooked through.
- To check if the salmon is cooked, insert a fork into the thickest part of the fillet. If it flakes easily, it is done. If it is still translucent, it needs to cook for a few more minutes.
- Serve the salmon immediately with your favorite sides. Some good options include roasted vegetables, mashed potatoes, or rice.
