SALMON

Simply delicious salmon, rich in proteins, succulent in healthy fats, served on a plate with anything you fancy and mmmmm! Almost everyone loves pan fried salmon, served without skin or with skin - most of the fat is stored in the skin. Salmon is high in Omega-3s which is precious information to prevent heart-attacks. Without its skin, you can coat it with herbs and spices, served hot or cold; at breakfast, lunch or supper time – that’s versatile salmon. Lots of people cook it first and then skin it but if you cook it right, the skin can add delightful crispness – it’s your call.

pan fried salmonIt is hard to believe such a wholesome meal can be prepared in mere minutes. All it takes just 10 minutes of marinating the salmon with a good squirt of lemon over, Himalayan salt and black pepper. While its marinating, you just use a little bit of flour, say quarter-cup with some salt to coat your fillets tenderly in, before placing in a preheated stainless steel or cast iron pan. Add a thin layer of veggie oil, like olive oil. Heat should be medium-high. pan fried salmonDon’t let your salmon go into a cold pan because your salmon will stick, tearing at that tender soft skin. Preheating the oil and pan sets the proteins in the fish before it starts bonding. 5-7 minutes on either side, turning now and then, should find the frying complete before the mouth-watering fish is ready to serve.

Garnish it with some black sesame seeds and some slivers of lemon. Hot crusty bread, crispy potato wedges, fresh vegetables or salads; you choose what goes with your pan fried salmon – its guaranteed scrumptiousness!
