Day One Recipe One: Rosemary Crusted Salmon

4 servings of salmon fillets, skin on

5-10 sprigs of fresh rosemary, minced

1 clove of garlic, minced

4 tablespoons dark brown sugar

The zest of 2 lemons

Salt and freshly cracked black pepper

4 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil

This recipe starts by making a rub for the salmon. In a small bowl mix together finely chopped rosemary, garlic, sugar, lemon zest, salt and pepper and set aside. In a large non-stick pan heat 2 tablespoons of the oil on medium high heat to sear the fish. Pack the rub onto the flesh side of the salmon fillets. Sear the rub side of the salmon for about 3 minutes until a crust forms. Flip the salmon into a hot clean pan with two tablespoons of oil skin side down to finish cooking. Cook until the salmon is mostly opaque but still slightly translucent on the inside. Avoid over cooked dry fish. Serve immediately.
