Health Benefits of Salmon

Salmon is is a great protein source that is rich in heart healthy omega-3s, and low in saturated fat as well as calories.

How do i know the salmon is cooked?

Apart from the obvious colour change in the Salmon, the best way to check if the salmon is cooked through, is to insert a fork into the center of the fillet and slightly twist it. If it comes out flaky, opaque and moist, then it is ready.

Ingredients

• 4 Salmon Fillets

Recipe Notes

To pan fry - For a more crispy skin and a quicker result, pan fry in 2 tbsp oil for 3 - 4 minutes each side. Make sure the oil is very very hot, otherwise the fish will just stick to the pan and fall apart. Adjust timing according to the thickness of your fish.
