RECIPE: Salmon

When buying salmon look for the following: skin that is firm and not slimmy & no fishy smell. If buying frozen then don't buy it with skin because it won't cook crispy.

1. Heat the skillet and then add a teaspoon or two of grape seed oil (enough to coat the pan).
2. Dry the skin and season with salt & pepper.
3. The pan must be HOT in order to make the skin crispy. Place fish in the skillet with the skin side down. Flip when the skin is crispy and the meat is cooked a 1/4 thru.
4. Turn the heat off to finish cooking.
5. While still in the pan, sprinkle with cilantro and parsley. Squeeze one lemon into the pan.
6. Remove when fish is cooked to medium.

To serve: Place slices tomato & cucumber onto the plate. Drizzle lightly with cold pressed oil. Season with salt. Top with bean sprouts or peppers for a little crunch. Serve with a lemon wedge.
