Directions:
First take a moment to get over the shock of spending that much for a meal for 2 or 3 people. No seriously, this is just stupid. But it tastes so good.
Ok, now that we've gotten that out of our system, put some oil in the skillet. The oil is always an approximation. I usually pour enough to cover about half of the base of the skillet, then move the oil around to see if it will cover the entire bottom. If it doesn't I will add more oil. Turn your stove on medium-low (3/10) and place your salmon in scale-side down. If your fish does not have scales or any of that nonsense, just throw it on whichever side seems more pleasant. Liberally plaster the upper side of the fish with your sauce. Use it all or until you look at it and think "I seriously can not put any more sauce on here." Once your fish is sufficiently sauced, put a lid on the skillet.
Every 5 to 10 minutes check on the fish to make sure nothing weird is happening. Also use the flipper to make sure that the fish does not stick to the bottom of the skillet. It's not a huge deal if it does because it's just the scales. After the surface of the fish looks cooked, let it go for a little bit longer to ensure that the insides are cooked as well. If you want to really make sure this is cooked, use your flipper to cut the fillet in half. If it looks cooked (does not look like it did in raw form), then you're good!
This goes well with a side of rice or pasta. I used some "add water and milk" pasta thing I got at Aldi.
