How to cook salmon fillets?

Judge the time by the thickest part of the fillet. Most are about 1/2 inch at that part, fry that size in a small amount of olive oil and butter or plain vegetable oil for 5 minutes on one side, flip and continue to cook another 3 to 4 minutes. If the fillet is closer to 1 inch thick then cook for 8 minutes on side one and 5 to 6 minutes on side 2.
