the masterchef I

Pan-fried Norwegian Salmon with garden herbs and scrambled eggs.

All you need:
Norwegian Salmon
Corn flour
Extra Virgin Olive Oil or any other veg oil
A little bit of salt
Some garden herbs
2 eggs

1. Pick out the bones in the Salmon and season with corn flour, salt and garden herbs.

2. Using small fire, first pan fry the side without the skin because the skin gets cooked more easily than the fish itself. you can see the progress of the frying by looking at the side, where the red portion turns into flaky pink salmon. The whole process takes about a few minutes.

3. Turn the salmon to cook both sides for a few minutes each, and lastly to the part with the skin. The other side should appear crispy brown and pink like this. Notice the difference in colour between the cooked and uncooked side?



4. The perfect salmon should look like this, crispy brown on the outside.



5. Fry scrambled eggs and serve.



ok i was too hungry that i just ate it on the counter. Perfect! The whole salmon was cooked as compared to the last time i cooked. Pink and moist in the inside, crispy on the outside. The highlight is the skin! Soooo crispy.







Total ingredients cost: $5.70 for the salmon at NTUC, all others taken from the fridge.
Taste: Better than restaurant quality
Satisfaction: Priceless
