The Verdict

DELISH. Heat a little bit of butter and olive oil in a pan. Season the salmon with salt, pepper and a dash of cayenne to spice things up. Fry for a few minutes skin side down, flip over (carefully, of course) and cook until done. We served it with sauteed zucchini, sepia pasta with fresh garlic and chilies and a tomato and rocket salad.

That's it. Delicious seafood is that simple. The trick is to get the good stuff. Occasionally I've caved (like a flan in a cupboard) and purchased seafood at Tescos or Waitrose. The result has ranged from decent to inedible, but never scrumptious.

This, however, was delectable. I highly recommend.
