Pat the salmon filets dry; season the flesh sides of the salmon using 1 t. sea salt.
Bring a large skillet to medium high heat; add the olive oil to the hot skillet; immediately add the salmon to the pan, flesh side down; saute the salmon for 4-5 minutes until browned; gently flip the salmon over to saute on the skin side for another 4-6 minutes. (It might take longer depending on thickness of the salmon.) Remove from pan and let sit to cool.
In the meantime, bring a small skillet to medium heat; add butter and 1/4 t. sea salt to the pan to melt.
Once the butter has melted, add honey, sage and nutmeg; stir; let butter begin to brown, for about 5 minutes. Stir throughout the cooking process so that the butter doesn't burn. Remove from heat.
Drizzle about 1 T. sage brown butter sauce on each salmon filet. Serve.
