Green Goddess Salmon 

Ingredients 

  • One 4oz fresh salmon filet, pin bones removed 
  • 1 tablespoon good quality olive oil or avocado oil 
  • Seasoning of choice, we are using Montreal Steak Seasoning
  • 1/2 lemon for drizzle at the finish

Instructions

  1. Heat sautee pan over medium-high heat and add oil to pan. 
  2. Pat your salmon dry with a paper towel and season with 1-1.5 teaspoons Montreal Steak Seasoning
  3. Place salmon skin side down in pan and sautee over medium high heat for 6-7 minutes, undisturbed until the lighter-colored flesh has moved about 3/4 of the way up the fillets. Flip the filet over to flesh side down and continue to cook for an additional 1-2 minutes. 
  4. Remove from heat and set aside.
