Pan-fried salmon with red apple, pine nuts & basil oil

Method

1. Drizzle the salmon fillets with oil and season with salt and pepper.
2. Heat a non-stick frying pan. Pan fry the salmon, skin side down, for about 4 minutes or until the skin becomes crispy.
3. Flip the salmon over and add the butter to the pan. Tilt the pan and spoon the butter over the salmon. Cook for a couple of minutes.
4. Finely slice the apple.
5. Roughly tear the basil leaves, place in a small bowl and drizzle over some good-quality oil. Mix together in the bowl or use a mortar and pestle.
6. To make the dressing, combine all the ingredients. Taste and adjust to your liking.
7. To serve, arrange the salmon fillets on a plate, add a dollop of dressing and scatter over the apple, pine nuts and basil oil mixture.
