Ingredients
 

  • 4 salmon fillets skin on
  • 1 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
  • 1 pinch salt
  • 1 tsp zaatar
  • ½ tsp garlic granules

Instructions
 

  • Place the salmon fillets on a plate. Add a drizzle of extra virgin olive oil and season well with salt on both sides.
  • Place the salmon fillets skin side down to a cold griddle pan.
  • Put the pan on a medium heat and allow to cook for 7-8 minutes until the skin is nice and crispy.
  • Flip and cook for a further 2-3 minutes.
  • Finally, add the zaatar and garlic granules and sear the salmon fillets on their both sides for around 30 seconds.
  • Serve and enjoy. On this occasion, I served mine with leftover roasted vegetables.

Notes

This is a really simple method that will not fail. If you would like to take these salmon fillets to the next level and create a dressing or homemade sauce, below I have listed some suggestions ⬇️
  • Homemade pesto
  • Asian style sauce
  • Peanut satay sauce
  • Lemon and butter sauce
  • Homemade chimichurri
My personal favourite is to serve with a homemade pesto, rice, oven roasted sweet potato and steamed greens.
