Crispy Skin Salmon

One of my favourite foods has to be salmon, I love it smoked, sashimi, grilled, baked, fried etc etc. Tonight we had pan fried salmon, with a layer of crispy skin, so delicious to eat with its rich flavour and succulent meat.

It’s amazing how it can be prepared so 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.

Preparation Time – 5 minutes
Cooking Time – 5 minutes

Serves – 2

Ingredients

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

Method

  1. Scale the skin of the 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. Serve with mashed potato and steamed vegetables.

Lego

This is unbelievable, I really want this LEGO KEY RACK, made with real lego blocks (this is seriously something that I don’t even need, but its so cute, and reminds me of my childhood when I use to play with lego blocks). Disregarding the fact it doesn’t even match the decor at home, and honestly I have no where to place it. Also really like the yellow LEGO HEAD EGG CUP SET, how cute is that!! Oh why oh why ET did you show me this website !!!

Microwave Chicken


The humble microwave has always been an appliance I’ve mainly used for reheating food or defrosting. Until recently I never fully utilised all its functions and abilities or tested its limits. It really did surprise me when it was capable of cooking a full meal in a fraction of the time compared to a traditional oven.

Tonight’s menu consisted of roast chicken with dill potatoes and garden salad. Who said you need to slave over a hot stove to serve up a beautiful dinner.
