  • 5 Season the salmon with salt and pepper and place it in pan skin side down and cook for 90 seconds. Turn and cook the other side for one minute
  • 6 The centre should still be quite raw.
  • 7 Remove fish to a warm plate and cover with a tea towel or loose foil for five minutes
  • 8 The heat in the outside of the fish will move to the centre, continuing the cooking process.
