Pan fried salmon with mash potatoes

This is extremely simple ! Total cooking & preparation time 30 minutes...

Ingredients

Salmon steak (with skin on and descaled)
Potatoes

Spring onion

Salt, pepper

Butter

Milk

Start by placing roughly diced potatoes in a hot boiling salted water. Cook till soft and drain water while keeping potatoes in the pot. Add a knob of butter and a dash of milk (this is all up to your tastebuds on how creamy/buttery you want it). Season with pepper. Mash it all up till creamy. Fold in the chopped spring onions. Leave it aside.

Pat dry the salmon steak. Score the skin of the fish into couple of slashes of about 1 cm deep and apart. Season well with salt and pepper, ensuring the crevises of the fish is well seasoned. On a non-stick pan, heat up olive oil. Once hot, place the fish (skin side) on the pan and leave it alone !!!! Don't touch it for about 2-3 minutes while the skin is being fried. This will ensure that it is crispy. Flip it over (carefully) and cook for another 3 minutes. The key to cooking salmon is not to overcook it otherwise it'll be yucky!

To plate, place a huge spoonful of mash potato and place the fish on top. Enjoy with white wine
