Introduce the dish and the chef.

Discuss the forgiving nature of salmon as a fish to cook.

Start by warming chickpeas in a pan.

Prepare the salmon by placing it skin-side down in the pan.

Use a nonstick or regular steel pan for cooking.

Add a light amount of neutral oil (canola) to the pan and heat it up.

Watch for the color change on the sides of the salmon as it cooks.

Flip the salmon when the color comes nearly halfway up the fillet.

Cook the salmon skin-side down for about 90% of the cooking time to crisp the skin.

Finish cooking the salmon for a quick 15 seconds to half a minute on the other side.

Prepare garlic butter to be used as a topping for the salmon.
