Ingredients

2 slice(s)	fresh salmon, skin on
2 tbsp	Pesto, see my recipe in the database
	oil for frying

Instructions

Wash and pat dry the salmon. Spread the skinless side with the pesto.

Heat some oil in a wide pan and place the salmon skin side down into the hot oil. Leave cooking at medium heat for exactly 7 minutes. Do not turn before this time is over! This will crisp up the skin and make sure that the salmon will be cooked through. After 7 minutes turn over and cook for another 4 minutes.

Now the salmon should be cooked and have a nice colour! Serve with rice or boiled potatoes.
