The trick to this recipe is letting the salmon rest for 6 minutes at the end. This leaves the salmon moist and tasty and works well for most firm fish.

Method

  1. Descale the fillets if they have skin
  2. Rinse the fillets under cold running water and pat dry with a paper towel
  3. In a flat dish mix the soy, lemon juice, Demerara sugar and pepper

  7. Pan fry for 3 minutes per side

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.
