want healthy and quick this meal is for you.

I don’t know why I’m so picky when it comes to fish, but I am. I eat the rawest sushi there is, but when it comes to cooked fish I pick and choose. Of course when it comes to crab, shrimp, and lobster I cannot get enough.

Salmon is such a healthy and light fish. It doesn’t have that strong fishy flavor, which I can’t stand. Salmon is a weekly buy for me during my grocery store trip.

I used to just bake it in the oven and be done with it. Not really my favorite way to have it. So one day I thought I would give pan seared salmon a try. Now I don’t want it any other way.

Pan searing is quick and easy too. Plus that nice golden crust on the salmon is my favorite part.

I get a pound of fresh salmon and it’s enough to feed 4. Just take the salmon out of the refrigerator at least 30 minutes before cooking.

Cut into 4 pieces and blot each piece with paper towels to soak up any moisture. Next put a nice coat of salt on the flesh side. I like to use the Himalayan salt. Any rock salt is good.

In a pan heat up 2 TBSP of olive oil over medium heat. Once it’s to temperature add your salmon to the pan flesh side down. Cook for about 4-5 minutes and flip and cook the same.

Depending on the thickness of your salmon you might need to cook a little longer. I like to make the flesh side of my salmon really crispy. So I cook that side an extra couple of minutes.

That’s it. Now it’s ready to enjoy.
