Cook Salmon
2. Heat a drizzle of olive oil in a large pan over medium-high heat (use a nonstick pan if you have it). Pat salmon dry with a paper towel. Season all over with salt, pepper, and Turkish spice. Add to pan skin-side down. Cook to desired doneness, 3-6 minutes per side.

Personal Notes:
This is my absolute favorite way to eat salmon. Another good alternative is wasabi salmon. You just cook the salmon on a stove top as you normally would, but you mix together sour cream and add wasabi until it has your desired kick then squeeze .5 a lime to a lime, depending on how many servings you are making. For the salad, the dressing this recipe has is a little boring for me. I personally like to use mom's famous vinaigrette recipe which is 2 parts olive oil, 1 part white wine vinegar ratio with dijon mustard and salt and pepper. I also add a squeeze of lemon!
