Pan-Seared Salmon

Serves 2

2 fillets Salmon

1 tbsp olive oil

1 small pat of butter

Salt and pepper to taste

1. In a pan heat the olive oil and butter over medium-high heat till butter begins to turn golden.

2. Place the salmon in the pan skin side up and cook for about 5-8 minutes or until it starts to brown. Watch your heat, and lower if needed.

3. Turn fillets over and put heat up to medium-high and cook for about 10 minutes, depending on how well done you like your fish. We like ours a little on the underdone side of things.

4. Transfer to a plate and season with salt and pepper to taste.
