Simple Pan-Seared Salmon

This easy dish is on the shortlist for weeknight meals that hit all my criteria: fast, healthy, filling, and killer good. Simply seasoned, the salmon is pan-fried until the exterior is super crispy while the interior remains buttery soft. Its simplicity lends it to pair with any number of sides, although I’m partial to serving it with a carb and something green; for example, whipped sweet potatoes and steamed broccoli. Replace the sweet potatoes with chickpea tomato sauce or throw the sauce in as a fourth component to the meal. Either way, the salmon easily elevates the meal, so almost any side dish will do.
