4 Servings

Ingredients

  • 4 salmon fillets skin on or off
  • Kosher salt and pepper
  • 1 tablespoon honey
  • Chili flakes – a pinch
  • 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil for frying
  • Arugula about 5 ounces (140 grams), washed
  • 1 green apple thinly sliced
  • 5 radishes thinly sliced
  • ½ tablespoon lemon juice
  • ½ tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
  • Salt and pepper

Instructions

  • For the fish
  • Dry salmon fillet with a paper towel. Sprinkle salt and pepper on both sides. On the side without skin, spoon the honey and spread. Sprinkle chili flakes.
  • Add 2 tablespoons of olive oil to a frying pan on medium heat. Once the oil starts to smoke a little bit, add the salmon with the skin side up (so the honey side is directly on the pan). If the oil is smoking a lot, the honey will burn. The pan should be hot, but not as hot as when you cook salmon without honey. Flip the salmon after 30 seconds to 1 minute, or once the top of the salmon is golden but not black. Check every 15 seconds. Cook the skin side of the salmon for 3 minutes or until done to your preference.
  • For the salad
  • (Very) thinly slice the apple and radishes. Add to serving bowl.
  • Add lemon juice. This keeps the apple from turning brown.
  • Add olive oil, arugula, salt and pepper. Toss and serve immediately. If you want to make this in advance, only pour on the dressing before serving.
