One of my favourite foods is salmon, be it smoked, sashimi, grilled, baked, fried. The smell of freshly pan fried salmon, with mouth watering crispy skin, where it melts in your mouth, together with the tender medium-rare flesh, and rich succulent flavours.

It’s amazing how it can be so effortlessly prepared and eaten it in so many different ways. High in protein and low in saturated fats, it even has the benefit of being rich in omega 3 essential fatty acids that help fight diseases. For a balanced diet it’s recommended to eat fish twice a week, and this can be done easily with such an simple recipe. 
 

2 salmon fillets, skin on
3 tsp olive oil
Freshly ground salt and pepper

1. Scale salmon fillets, and remove any bones, wash and pat dry with paper towel. Season salmon on both sides with salt and ground pepper.
2. Heat olive oil in non stick fry pan on high heat, add fillet to hot pan skin side down, cook for 3 minutes, or until crispy. Turn and cook for further 1- 2 minutes.
