Lay the salmon in the hot pan and leave it alone for several minutes to allow the skin to get crispy.

Flip the salmon over when it's cooked about two-thirds to three-quarters of the way up, cooking for another minute or two.

Prepare the salad by adding a handful of extra salad greens to the salad kit, which has enough dressing for the extra greens.

Remove the salmon from the heat to prevent overcooking after it has a nice crispy skin.

Serve the completed dishes and enjoy.
