    • tbsp oil for seasoning skillet

    Quick season a stainless steel skillet with 1/2 tablespoon of oil and heat over medium-high heat until the oil starts to move easily around the pan. Remove from the heat and wipe out with kitchen roll. I find this step ensures a stress free, non-stick cooking experience with consistently good crispy salmon skin

    Mix 2 tablespoons of kosher salt into 500ml of water and brine the salmon fillets between 10 and 15 minutes

    • handful of walnuts
    • handful of raisins
    • handful of parsley
    • 2 tbsp mayonnaise
    • lemon
    • tsp apple cider vinegar
    • tsp salt
    • tsp sugar
    • 1⅓ tsp maple syrup
    • tsp ground flaxseeds

    Mix in raisins and parsley then stir the mayonnaise, lemon juice, apple cider vinegar, salt, sugar and maple syrup through the slaw. The ground flaxseeds are optional but I find they give the slaw a better consistency and stops it getting too runny when not served instantly

    • 1⅔ tbsp oil for frying

    Pour oil in skillet and preheat to medium-high heat before adding salmon. Lower the heat slightly after 1 minute

  • Step 10/11

    • 16⅔ g butter

    When salmon has cooked 2/3 of the way up the flesh lower heat to low-medium and add the 25g of cubed butter around the fillets. When butter is foaming carefully turn salmon using a fish slice to instantly finish cooking the salmon. Remove pan from the heat and baste butter over the skin.
