People (and cats apparently) don't eat enough salmon.

Beazley : Confused

When salmon is farmed ethically and grown with care it is simply an unbeatable way to access long-chain Omega 3 fats. These are essential to human health and play a massive role in brain function as well as normal development. We'll go further with Omega 3's another time but when I asked Beazley if he knew why people don't eat enough salmon he couldn't tell me.  It was simply beyond him.

M&S Lochmuir salmon is farmed to emphasise those aspects of oily fish that are healthful while miminizing concerns on contaminants or non-natural pigments – so I'd look there. If you are drawn to a Paleo-style diet then this recipe is for you. It's really quick and you can be as organic with the salad stuff as you wish.

Pan Fried Salmon Fillet with Avocado
  • Approx 500g of M&S Lochmuir salmon fillet portions (* see the link)
  • Approx 150g of cherry tomatoes chopped
  • 1 Medium yellow pepper deseeded and chopped
  • An Avocado also chopped
  • A fat free salad dressing
  • Seasoning
  • Olive oil
(approx 2-3 portions depending on your previous workout and how hungry your cat is)

Heat the skillet with a tablespoon of the olive oil. Place the fillet portions skin side down & cook on a medium flame for 10 mins per 2cm of fillet depth. You'll see the colour change and the trick is to cook the portion without turning it – cover the skillet if you're concerned. Do this properly and you'll have a lovely crispy skin (on the salmon that is).

As the fish cooks chop the veg and add to a bowl ; fling in the dressing & season to taste.

Once the salmon is cooked simply serve with the salad. It works for me (and Beazley) – hope it works for you too.  If you want to visualize a variation to this try the link ...

Lovely Lovely Lochmuir Salmon.....
