Pan Seared Wild Alaskan Salmon With Sage - cooking recipe

Ingredients

12 ounces fresh wild alaskan salmon (with skin)
salt and pepper
1 tablespoon olive oil
4 tablespoons butter, divided
6 -8 fresh sage leaves, chopped
1/2 onion, julienned
1 garlic clove, minced

Preparation

Heat olive oil, and 1 tablespoons butter in medium frying pan over medium-high heat.
Lightly salt skin side of salmon.
Rub flesh side of salmon with half of sage, salt and pepper to taste.
Place salmon skin side down in pan. Cook until salmon is cooked halfway through. Don't worry about burning the skin as it can take a good deal of heat and tastes better the crispier it gets.
Remove salmon from pan and set aside.
Add remaining butter, sage, onions and garlic to pan. Sautee until onions are slightly transparent.
Return salmon to pan flesh side down and cook 3-5 minutes or until cooked through and flaky.
Remove from pan and serve immediately with onions on top.
