Salmon with chia seeds

Ler em português

In my opinion, salmon is one of those fishes that is so easy to cook and that is why I cook it so many times. Thus, I’m always trying to improve my recipes, and so, I hope you like this one. Here it is.

INGREDIENTS:

• 1-2 salmon fillets
• chia seeds
• ½ lemon (juice)
• 1 coffee spoon of ginger (shallow)
• black pepper
• mixture of 5 peppers
• thyme (fresh or dried)
• salt
• unsalted butter

METHOD:

1. Start by removing the skin of the salmon fillets. For that, turn the skin-side down and do small cuts near the skin until it is all removed.
2. Cut the salmon into large cubes and season it with lemon, pepper, ginger and salt.
3. Melt about 3 tablespoons of unsalted butter with thyme.
4. Pass the salmon by the unsalted butter and then by the chia seeds. You have to be careful when grabbing the salmon, because of the seeds.
5. In a frying pan, add a little bit of unsalted butter (1 tea spoon or olive oil). Cook the salmon each side for approximately 3 minutes or until is on point.

Serve with vegetables and a butter sauce seasoned with thyme, some lemon drops and black pepper.

Enjoy!
