Ingredients
4 Small Salmon Steaks
Salt
Pepper
Fennel Seeds
Fennel, Red Grapefruit, Cranberry Salad

Method
  • Pat dry the salmon then season the skin with salt; set aside for 5 minutes.

  • The salt will draw moisture out, so you'll need to pat dry the salmon again.

  • Season the fleshy part of the fish with a little salt, pepper and fennel seeds.

  • Thinly coat a frying pan, griddle or BBQ with cooking oil spray.

  • When the frying pan or BBQ is hot add the salmon (skin side down) and pan fry for 5 minutes. Turn onto the flesh side and sear for a couple of minutes.

  • Pan fry the skin side first then turn the salmon over and sear the flesh.


  • Individually plate the pan seared salmon with a little of the Fennel, Red Grapefruit, Cranberry Salad.

  • Prepare the Fennel, Red Grapefruit, Cranberry Salad.


    Arrange the salad on individual plates and place the pan seared salmon on top.
