Equipment

  • Skillet

Ingredients
  

Seafood

  • 1 pound fresh salmon

Seasoning

  • Salt & pepper to taste

Cooking Oils

  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 tablespoon butter

Vegetables

  • ½ medium onion, chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • ½ cup matchstick cut carrots
  • 1 heaping cup chopped broccolini

Instructions
 

Cooking Steps

  • Cut the salmon into 4 equal pieces. Pat both sides dry with paper towel and season with salt & pepper.
  • Add the oil and butter to a skillet over medium-high heat. Let the pan heat up for a few minutes.
  • Cook the salmon, skin-side down, for 5 minutes. Flip it and cook for another 2-3 minutes (the fish should be almost done). If the fish is sticking at any point, give it a little longer to release naturally (don't force it).
  • Take the salmon out of the pan and transfer it to a plate. If you don't want to eat the salmon skin, you can easily slide it off before adding the salmon back into the pan.
