Get prepped
1

• Thinly slice capsicum into strips.
• Halve snacking tomatoes.

Cook the salmon
2

Cook the fish
3

• Wipe out frying pan then return to medium-high heat with enough olive oil to cover the base. • Pat salmon dry with paper towel and season both sides.
• When oil is hot, cook salmon, skin-side down first, until just cooked through, 2-4 minutes each side.
TIP: Patting the skin dry helps it crisp up in the pan!
