Ingredients

Servings
  • 3 fillets salmon
  • 2-3 tablespoons coconut oil or olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1 teaspoon black pepper
  • ½ teaspoon cayenne pepper more or less to taste
  • salt to taste
  • black pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. Heat oil in a frying pan on medium high heat.
  2. Sprinkle the fillets of salmon evenly with spices on both sides.
  3. Place fillets into preheated pan and cook on the first side until it is cooked about half way through, about 4-5 minutes).
  4. Then turn and cook for another 4-5 minutes.
  5. Serve immediately.
  6. ENJOY!!

Notes

  • Do not to overcook your salmon. It is done when it flakes easily, which is typically takes about 4-5 minutes per side for the average salmon fillet thickness.
  • There is no need to remove the skin before cooking the salmon fillets.  Place the skin side down in the pan for the first 4-5 minutes of cooking. 
  • Serve salmon with rice, pasta or roasted potatoes.  Add a simple vegetable like broccoli, asparagus, spinach or zucchini.
  • Add additions flavors to the finished product.  I often top it with a mixture of soy sauce and ginger paste for an Asian flavored dish.
