Preparation
Turn on a low flame under your skillet.
Spread the olive oil to cover the bottom of the pan and put the salmon in it skin down.
Sprinkle the fish with thyme, salt, & pepper.
Put the lid on the skillet and cook until done.
On our stove, with our skillet, with a lid that really seals, the cook time is 33 minutes. Your mileage may vary. The salmon should be pink (not red) all the way through. Some people like their salmon cooked more or less. Authorities say to cook salmon to a temperature of 145 degrees.
