  1. To prepare Pan-Seared Salmon, first thoroughly wash the salmon fillets and remove any pin bones if present. Heat some olive oil in a pan with a clove of garlic until hot.
  2. When the garlic starts to sizzle, add the salmon fillets with the skin side down. Add the leaves from a sprig of rosemary and let the fillets cook without flipping them for a few minutes. The skin should become nicely crispy and golden brown.
  3. Once the skin is crispy, flip the fillets, add a light sprinkle of salt, and continue cooking until this side is also golden brown. When your Pan-Seared Salmon fillets are nicely colored on both sides, remove them from the pan and serve hot. Finally, remember to download our App with exclusive content and fewer ads!
