“Gourmet” Salmon

Season one side of the salmon with the fish and seafood seasoning.

Now drizzle the sesame seed oil into a frying pan. This oil has loads and loads of flavor so go easy. If you think you need more while the fish is cooking, I would probably use some olive oil.

Heat the pan on a medium high heat. Let it get good and hot before you place the fillets in it. For beauty purposes, set the salmon in with the seasoned side up.

Depending on the thickness of your fish, you should let these cook for about four minutes on one side before turning. You can check the ends to see how it’s cooking. As it cooks the meat will become a light/pale pink. Wait to turn it until it is just more than halfway up.

To make sure it is thoroughly cooked, check the ends once again. It should be that pretty pink color throughout. Also, it should flake when a fork is inserted into it and pulled back a bit with the grain of the meat. You do not want to overcook fish; stay close!
