Chili Salmon by J. Massie

"This is so easy and the best way i've ever made salmon!" says Janie

1. start with fresh or fresh/frozen salmon. if it smells, don't use it. (i learned the hard way.) [Good point from Janie. Fresh fish doesn't smell, so if it smells strong - it's *no* good. Ever notice how sushi/sashimi doesn't smell? There's a reason; it's super fresh!]
2. season both sides of the salmon with salt and pepper. i used skinless.
3. brush on chili oil (or any type of marinade). cover fish with foil and place in refrigerator until you're ready to cook and serve.
4. heat the skillet first for a couple of minutes before adding a little oil. when the pan is smoking hot, place the fish on it and cook about four minutes per side.
5. garnish with green onions and cilantro.
