This dish is quick and easy. I prepare it multiple times a week, often mixing it in a salad for a quick lunch, or pairing it with a side of veggies for dinner. I often pair it with this cauliflower purèe with crispy shallots and mushrooms.
Ingredients
2 salmon fillets with or without skin, 350g (12oz)
Olive oil, 1 tbsp. To limit the amount of oil you can use an olive oil sprayer

Storing and Reheating
Since this is a quick dish, I recommend preparing it right before eating it. Alternatively, you can prepare it the day before, store it in the fridge, and reheat it in the microwave.
Notes
If you want to limit the amount of oil (and calories) I recommend using an olive oil sprayer. I have one and I LOVE it.
