PREPARATION FOR LEMON GARLIC SALMON

  1. Marinate the Salmon: Combine the minced garlic, lemon juice, and olive oil in a small bowl. Season the salmon fillet with salt and pepper, then rub the lemon-garlic mixture over the salmon. Let it marinate for 10-15 minutes to enhance the flavours.
  1. Heat the Pan: Heat a non-stick pan over medium heat. Add a little olive oil to the pan to prevent sticking.
  1. Cook the Salmon: Place the salmon fillet skin-side down in the hot pan. Cook the salmon on each side for 3-4 minutes until it’s cooked and flakes easily with a fork.
  1. Serve: Remove the salmon from the pan and serve immediately, garnished with a slice of lemon or fresh herbs if desired.

PREP TIME

10 minutes (including marinating time)

COOKING TIME

6-8 minutes

TIPS FOR LEMON GARLIC SALMON

  • Crispy Skin: If you enjoy crispy salmon skin, cook the salmon skin-side down first and press gently with a spatula to ensure even contact with the pan.
  • Cooking Time: Adjust the cooking time based on the thickness of the fillet. Thicker fillets may require an additional minute or two.
  • Lemon Zest: Add lemon zest to the marinade for an extra burst of citrus flavour.

VARIATIONS

  • Herb Addition: Add fresh herbs like dill, parsley, or thyme to the marinade for a herby twist.
  • Spicy Kick: Sprinkle a pinch of red pepper flakes or add a dash of hot sauce to the marinade for a bit of heat.
  • Butter: Substitute olive oil with butter for a richer flavour.

PREPPING AND STORAGE

  • Fridge: Store leftover salmon in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days.
  • Freezing: You can freeze the cooked salmon for up to 3 months. Thaw in the refrigerator overnight before reheating.
  • Advance Prep: Marinate the salmon ahead of time and store it in the fridge for up to 24 hours before cooking.
