Ingredients
Printable 🖨 shopping 🛒 list & 👩🍳 method for this recipe
- 2 150g (7oz) salmon fillets
- 4 tablespoons dark soy sauce (light soy is fine)
- 1 tablespoon demerara sugar or honey
- Freshly ground black pepper
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- Parsley to garnish
Method
- Descale the fillets if they have skin
- Rinse the fillets under cold running water and pat dry with a paper towel
- In a flat dish mix the soy, lemon juice, demerara sugar and pepper

- Add the olive oil to a frying pan on a medium heat
- Pan fry for 3 minutes per side
- Remove from heat, cover with a large plate or tin foil and rest for 6 minutes

Variations
Use honey instead of demerara sugar. If you are not keen on sweet things, you can reduce the honey or sugar to 1 teaspoon.
Instead of lemon juice, try the juice from a jar of preserved lemons or cider vinegar.
Substitute dill for the parsley and add some cloves of crushed garlic either to the marinade or the frying pan.
