  2. Coat fillets with olive oil, and season with salt and pepper, rub in the seasoning on both sides.
  3. Remove your preheated skillet from the oven and place over a burner set to high. Coat skillet with remaining olive oil.
  4. Lay fillets in the pan, and add Thyme and Rosemary sprigs.
  5. While fillets sear, baste top side with Sprigs of Thyme and Rosemary.
