Step-by-Step Guide
Step 1
Prepare the fish (any red fish: salmon, trout, chum salmon, pink salmon...) by cutting it into portion-sized pieces and removing the backbone. The pieces should be about 2.5–3 cm thick.
Step 2
Place the fish in a bowl in a single layer, season with salt and pepper to taste. Drizzle with olive oil (about half), lemon juice (the amount of juice depends on your preference — if you want a strong lemon flavor, use a couple of lemons) and rub each piece of fish well. The olive oil will bind all the flavors and infuse the fish.
Step 3
Place bay leaves between the pieces of fish and let it sit for 10–15 minutes.
Step 4
In a skillet (preferably a grill pan), pour in a little olive oil (if using a regular skillet, the oil should completely cover the bottom, but do not pour in too much). When the oil is well heated, place the fish in the pan.
Step 5
Fry on each side for about 2–3 minutes.
Step 6
The cooked fish can be drizzled with lemon juice if desired. Alternatively, serve with a wedge of lemon or lime.
