Ingredients
- 4 salmon fillet, skin on about 180g/6oz each (middle section is best)
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- sea salt
Method
- Pat the fish dry with kitchen paper.
- Heat the oil in a non-stick frying pan over moderate heat.
- Salt the skin of the fish with salt and place skin-side down in the pan and cook until golden and crispy. This can take 5–8 minutes depending on the size and thickness of the fish pieces. By the time the skin is crisp, the fish is almost cooked.
- Turn the fish over carefully, then remove from the pan and allow to rest uncovered (not on its skin side) for three minutes. The residual heat will finish cooking it perfectly.
- Serve with plenty of veggies or salad following our healthy plate plan.
