Ingredients
  

  • salmon fillets, or steaks
  • salt and pepper, as desired
  • extra light olive oil

Instructions
 

  • I used 3 skin on fillets from Tesco, each is 120 grams or about 4¼ oz. Rinse the fillets and check for and remove any stray scales and pin bones.
  • Season the flesh side with salt and pepper as desired.
  • Heat a tablespoon or two of oil in a non stick pan on medium high heat, when hot, add the salmon skin side down. Cook for about 3-5 minutes, most of the cooking takes place with the skin side down.
  • As the color of the flesh on the sides of each fillet changes from the bottom upwards, and the skin is crispy, turn each fillet over and cook for another 2-3 minutes.
  • Serve with sides of your choice.

Notes

At 69 Baht for each salmon fillet, this is about $2.15 per serving.
