1 Value Pack 32oz Fremont Fish Market Wild Caught Pink Salmon (Frozen) - Keep half frozen for next week!
2 tbsp Butter
1 tbsp Olive Oil
1 tsp Garlic Powder or 2 cloves minced
1/2 Organic Lemon optional
1 Container Tabbouleh Deli section

Thaw: Quick-thaw salmon in a bowl of cold water for 15-20 mins. Pat strictly dry with paper towels (this is key for a good sear!).
Sear: Heat oil and butter in a large skillet on Level 7 (Medium-High). Place salmon skin-side up (if applicable) or presentation side down. Sear for 3-4 mins until a golden crust forms. Use a spatula to flip.
Finish: Cook 2-3 more minutes on the other side until cooked through. Squeeze lemon over top.
Serve: Serve the hot salmon alongside your chilled Tabbouleh. The contrast in temperature and the acidity of the Tabbouleh against the buttery salmon is perfect!
