We have salmon - at home - about twice per week. Our fav in-home meal. Very simple to prepare and cook, and so yummy.

We get ours at Aldi or Neigh WM. Typically a pound piece - nice and thick with skin on. About $8 total. I cut the piece in half, then half again. Put 2 pieces in a baggie the fridge for another meal.

Cooking. Prep salmon with a bit of potassium salt, Ms Dash, and Sprinkle of basil. Non-stick pan on med-high. Small drizzle of olive oil, then place pieces skin down and cook for about 2 min. Tongs to flip over, and take the skin off - place the 'fat side' down on the skillet to crisp. The "gray" side of the salmon will now be 'up'. Cook for another 2 min. Take out the crispy skin onto the dish.

2 options for 'sauce'.

1. Before flipping salmon over to cook the 'gray' side - drizzle about 2 tsp of maple syrup onto the salmon and flip to cook for about 1 more min tops. I like my salmon med - hers rare, so her piece comes off onto the dish 30 secs sooner. When both pieces are out to rest, I put a bit of water into the pan to thin the rest of the juices/syrup, and drizzle over the cooked salmon on plates.

2. While salmon is cooking, in small non-stick pan, a tbsp of sourcream (or plain yougurt) to warm, a bit of pepper, and good portion of dill. sautee' to a creamy stage. When salmon is done and plated, drizzle all over the salmon.

Both ways are SO yummy served with light sides dishes. BTW - the "gray" side is cooked and all the Omega-stuff is saved and consumed. And the salmon skin is like bacon...but good for you...
