How to prepare the fish for easy salmon fillets in less than 10 minutes
Holding the fish over the sink, lightly rub it down with a thin layer of cornstarch. Give your fish a gentle shake to remove any excess cornstarch; this is intended to be an extremely thin layer. The cornstarch will help seal moisture into your fish, and help form a slightly crispy exterior.  Drop it skin-side down in the pan and cook over medium-high heat.
