MAKE THE SALMON

Step 1: Slice the salmon into 16 equal pieces and season lightly with salt and pepper. Heat 1 teaspoon of the oil in a medium saute pan over high heat. Add half the salmon pieces and sear for 10 seconds or so on each side (cooking time depends on the thickness). Add the remaining 1 teaspoon oil and repeat with the rest of the salon. Set aside.
