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.
