Ingredients
Cooking Instructions
step 1
To create a Mediterranean base for your crispy skin salmon, heat the saucepan to medium heat and add Extra-Virgin Olive Oil (as needed). Once it has warmed up, add Zucchini (1) and mix well.
step 2
After a few minutes, add Cherry Tomatoes (12), Garlic (1 clove), Sun-Dried Tomatoes (to taste), and Salt (to taste).
step 3
After 5 minutes add Basil Pesto (1 Tbsp) and mix again. Once combined well, add Fresh Baby Spinach (3 1/3 cups) and mix through. Cook for 3 more minutes or until the baby spinach has darkened in colour and cooked through.
step 4
Prepare the Salmon Fillet (1) by squeezing some Lemons (to taste) over the top, adding a pinch of Salt (to taste).
step 5
Heat a frying pan on medium heat and add Extra-Virgin Olive Oil (as needed). Place the fillet gently into the pan with the skin down and let it simmer. Cook it for approximately 5-6 minutes so it begins to become crispy.
step 6
Once the skin turns crispy, turn the salmon fillet and cook the other side for 4-5 minutes.
step 7
Spread the Mediterranean base on the centre of a plate and place the crispy skin salmon on top. Top with pesto if desired.
