SUPER Quick (and Moist!) Salmon Dish

(So moist I had to use that word!)

My love for slow-roasting salmon runs deep. But sometimes I don't have 30-60 minutes to let it baste in its own juices. I'm guessing you don't always either! So here's a way I learned to make it that takes literally 10 minutes max.

Makes 2 servings:
Ingredients:

• Cooking oil like olive oil or coconut oil
• 2 4-6oz portions of good quality salmon
• Salt and pepper to taste
• Herbs for fish should you desire them

Directions:

• Season your salmon to taste. Then, heat enough oil to coat the pan you're using (preferably nonstick) on moderately high heat. You want the oil hot but not smoking hot.
• Place your salmon filets skin-side UP to sear the fish until browned, about 3-4 minutes. Don't play around with the fish while it's browning. Just let it sit :)
• Flip the filets over and cook skin-side down for another 3-4 minutes. And that is IT! Seriously!

Obviously the more you cook the fish the more well-done it will be. The times I mentioned are for a medium cook temp which is how I prefer it. The white albumin that seeps out of salmon shouldn't form this way. 

Feel free to chop up some herbs to top the fish, give it a splash of lemon, serve it with capers on the side. Add some veggies to your plate and you're good to go!

Enjoy!
