Simple Pan-Fried Salmon with Dried Basil

It is very easy to cook salmon fish cos' no matter how you cook it, it is still deliciously yummy provided you don't overcook it and very little oil is needed.  My children like it to be pan fried as they like the crispiness of its skin.  

This is a very simple dish which I pan-fried it with dried basil.

Ingredients :

- 2 pcs of salmon fillet (washed)

- 1 thumb sized ginger (washed and crushed)
- butter

Seasonings : (to taste)
- salt
- pepper
- soy sauce
- dried basil leaves

Method :

1) Season salmon fillets with salt and pepper.

2) Heat wok or pan and grease it with butter. Take note not to over grease it.

3) Saute ginger and pan fry the salmon fillet on both sides.

4) Sprinkle dried basil and soy sauce on both sides.  Then, slightly pan fry both sides again.

5) Serve it with some lemon juice.
