Pan Seared Salmon For Valentine’s Day

Because it’s Happy Heart’s Day last Sunday.. we’re trying to eat healthier by including salad on our meals and more fish, less meat. And because Pan Seared Salmon is the perfect break we need from Kare Kare we had a day before Vday.

Pan Seared Salmon 

And lastly because it’s super duper easy and fast to prepare! AKA mom is tooo lazy to cook last Valentine’s Day!

So easy, you’d love preparing this everyday! If not for the pricey tag of Salmon… hahays!

Here’s what you need:

• slice of salmon
• salt and freshly ground pepper
• thyme
• 2-4 garlic (crushed)
• 2-4 tablespoon olive oil

How to cook Pan Seared Salmon:

1. Season salmon with salt and pepper
2. Put some olive on a smoking hot pan (that’s the secret! Pan should be smoking hot!)
3. Place the salmon.
4. While salmon is cooking, place the garlic and thyme on the side.
5. 3-5 minutes on each side.

Include greens on your meal to make this meal healthier!  Preparation time for this healthy Pan Seared Salmon recipe is just 10 minutes!

For my greens, I usually use romaine lettuce because it is very crunchy. I also love putting arugula because it kicks! And feta cheese with olives because it’s very tasty! I just discovered that olives and I can be good friends!

The olive oil from my feta cheese/ olives bottle is what I use as dressing.

Salmon trivia: Do you know that Salmon can go as high as 1000 Pesos per kilo?!? It’s too expensive!!! Salmon head is cheaper on the other hand and can be cooked as sinigang. I got my Salmon slice from Shopwise. It’s frozen but a bit cheaper. 4 slices of Salmon is 300 Pesos lang. 

Love Salmon too? How do you like it? Raw or cooked?
