Recipe: Restaurant-Style Salmon

Ingredients:

• 2 salmon fillets (about 200g each)
• 2 tbsp olive oil or butter
• 1 tsp salt
• 1/2 tsp black pepper
• 1/2 tsp paprika
• 1/2 tsp garlic powder
• 1/2 lemon (for squeezing)
• 1 tbsp chopped parsley (for garnish)

Instructions:

1. Prepare the Salmon:

   • Pat the salmon fillets dry with paper towels.
   • Season both sides with salt, black pepper, paprika, and garlic powder.

2. Pan-Sear the Salmon:

   • Heat olive oil or butter in a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat.
   • Place the salmon in the skillet skin-side down (if it has skin) and cook for 3-4 minutes until the skin is crispy.
   • Carefully flip the salmon and cook the other side for 2-3 minutes until fully cooked (it should flake easily with a fork).

3. Add the Finishing Touch:

   • Squeeze half a lemon over the salmon during cooking for a fresh, tangy flavor.

4. Serve:

   • Garnish the salmon with chopped parsley and serve hot with a side of roasted vegetables or rice.
