Ingredients

  • 14 oz fillet fresh salmon 410 grams
  • 3 tbsp extra virgin olive oil 45 ml
  • 1 clove garlic
  • 2 tbsp finely chopped parsley 8 grams
  • pinch sea salt
  • dash black pepper

Instructions

  1. Heat a nonstick grilling pan with a medium-high heat

  2. Meanwhile, pat the salmon dry with paper towels, then cut into 3 or 4 individual fillets

  3. Drizzle a kiss of extra virgin olive oil over the fillets and rub all over, then season with sea salt & black pepper, do this on both sides of the salmon (the flesh side and the skin side)

  4. Right after seasoning the fillets of salmon, add them into the hot grilling pan, skin side down

  5. After 4 minutes gently flip the fillets of salmon to cook the other side (the thickness of my salmon fillets where 1 inch / 2.50 cm at the thickest part, if yours are thinner go for 3 minutes, if they are thicker go for 5 minutes)

  6. After another 2 minutes the salmon fillets should be perfectly cooked, remove from the pan and place on a plate skin side up

  7. To make the sauce, add 2 tbsp (30 ml) extra virgin olive oil into a small bowl, finely grate in 1 clove of garlic, add in 2 tbsp finely chopped parsley and lightly season with sea salt, whisk together

  8. Add the salmon fillets into serving dishes, once again skin side up, add the garlic sauce over the salmon and serve at once, enjoy!
