Instructions
- 1 Pat fillets dry with paper towels; set in a baking dish, skin-sides down. Sprinkle with garlic-pepper seasoning and dill. Flip fillets; generously rub salt only over skin. Cover the baking dish; set aside for 15 to 20 minutes.
- 2 Heat oil in a large cast-iron skillet over high heat until it just starts to smoke; reduce heat to medium-high and add butter. Add fillets, skin-sides down, as soon as butter melts. Cover the skillet; cook until fish flakes easily with a fork, 7 to 9 minutes, depending on thickness. Remove fillets with a metal spatula, halve each fillet, and serve immediately.
