Instructions

- Prep Salmon: Remove skin from salmon and cut into approx. 1 inch sized pieces. Place in a bowl and season with salt and pepper. Add 1/4 cup soy sauce and toss to coat.
- Cook Salmon: Bring a large cast iron skillet to medium-high heat. Add 1 tablespoon olive oil; swirl to coat the pan.
