Everyone is eating Salmon

Seems like most people around me are eating salmon!

Since moving to Perth, I don't really buy fish.

Why?

  1. I don't know what type of fish is good for steaming, grilling, baking etc
  2. I suck at cooking them. Especially pan frying. Usually they sell fillets, so it is really difficult to handle them on pans.
  3. FISH is expensive here! VERY VERY EXPENSIVE

Well, for health reasons, I decided to buy salmon. It is also easier to consume. I mean, they don't taste so fishy. I bought two huge slices at $17! Expensive right?? Ah well, must be rich to eat fish in Australia.

Ingredients:

Salmon
Salt and pepper
Lemon juice
Butter

Method: Just heat the pan and add butter. I sprinkle salt onto the salmon before placing them on the pan. I will cook it on one side for about 4 mins and pour lemon juice on it. After which, turn them over for about 45 secs and pour lemon juice on it.Turn the stove off and close it with a lid. It will cook by itself for another 1.5 min. Try not to overcook salmon because it will be too dry.

Serve it with mash potatoes and hollandaise sauce. I was alittle lazy so I used instant mashies and sauce and they tasted so great!
