20 Minute Salmon Meal After a Long Day

After a ten-hour workday the other day, I came home and prepared the following meal within 20 minutes. There's nothing fancy about the meal, but it's a very easy and practical meal that allows top quality ingredients to shine.

Pan-seared Salmon Fillet over Delicate Greens with Broiled Baguette Slices

6oz salmon fillet
green leaf lettuce
homemade vinaigrette
French baguette
olive oil
salt
pepper

1.) Heat 1 tbsp olive oil in non-stick skillet over medium-high heat. Heat toaster oven broiler.
2.) Rinse greens and spin
3.) Sprinkle salmon with salt and pepper, place in skillet flesh-side down when it reaches smoking point. Cook for a few minutes until salmon is nicely golden colored.
4.) Slice baguette, brush with olive oil and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Place in broiler until golden.
5.) Flip the salmon, cook on the skin side until fillet is at desired level of doneness (is that a word?)
6.) Place the greens in a big bowl, spoon on a homemade vinaigrette, sprinkle with salt and pepper, toss. Place the dressed greens on a plate, add the finished salmon and baguette slices.
