Here Fishy, Fishy...

Mmm, do I love seafood. I love it all ways, fresh, fried, sauteed, boiled, baked, you name it, I'd probably eat it. A seafood that I think should be more incorporated into our diets? Salmon! It's a steak fish so it holds together great, on a grill, in a pan, etc. Omega-3 Fatty acids, bring em' on! Have you ever heard doctors actually recommend a FATTY anything? Anyways, the following dish is just your basic meal. One part protein, one part grain, one part vegetable. Very balanced, if I do say so myself. The only real cooking to do here is frying the fish. Everything else I took shortcuts with ;].

Ingredients
Olive oil
6-8 ounce piece of salmon
Salt
Pepper
Microwavable rice
Steam-in-a-pouch vegetable medley

Procedure
To a pan heated on medium-high heat, add a tablespoon of oil. Season your fish liberally and add the fish, season-side down to the pan. Once it's on there, don't move it! You want a whole piece that you can present on a plate, not a few chunks flaked off and piled together. For about 5 or so minutes, you should see the flesh turn opaque on the sides of the filet. Once you see that it has cooked more or less halfway, gently flip and allow to finish cooking. This will probably take less than however long it took for the first side to cook. Once done, plate up with rice and veggies and you're done!
