Chum salmon fillet

Description

The dish is prepared without unnecessary complications. This cooking method will make the fish juicy and tender. Instead of baking it in mayonnaise or under a sauce, simply fry the fish on a non-stick pan. Serve it warm, with a gentle and delicate side dish, such as mashed potatoes or green pea purée, as well as with fresh vegetables or rice. The finished dish can be served at the table.
