    Ensure the pan is hot before adding fish to achieve a perfect sear without sticking.

    Sear for 3-5 minutes until the skin is golden brown and crispy, and the flesh is cooked about two-thirds of the way through. Flip the fillets and cook for another 1-2 minutes, just until cooked through. Remove from pan and let rest for a minute.
