Josh's pan fried creamy Salmon

Salmon is probably one of my favorite fish. It is so versatile and readily available in most stores. I like salmon baked, pan fried, grilled, and as sushi. Salmon does well in Italian, French, American and Asian style preparation styles. Also, because it's one of the fattiest fish in the sea, it's full of flavor. Below is one of my favorite ways ot eat this delicious fish.

Ingredients:
filet of salmon
various herbs of choice (parsley, aregeno, thyme, etc.)
salt and pepper
lemon
garlic
olive oil
can of clam chowder

Heat up a pan on medium high to high, when hot, turn the heat down to medium to medium/high. Put some butter and/or olive oil on the pan w/ chopped garlic. Let brown slightly and put down some fillets. It's important to brown the filets correctly which occurs with the right amount of heat and oil mixture. It needs to cook half way through yet form a nice crust on the outside to seal in the juices without burning the outside. Season w/ salt and pepper, sprinkle some lemon juice and flip fillet after about 4 minutes. Poor the clam choweder over the fish, empty the can if you wish. Add herbs and carefully stir the chowder as the dish cooks being sure not to break up the fish. Turn the stove off in 10 minutes. Let sit 10 minutes and serve.

Serve over some rice and garnish w/ broccoli or other green.
Add a slice of tomato and enjoy w/ some white wine.
Delicious and easy way to make something that looks and tastes great without too much work.
