How to choose fresh, quality salmon
- You should choose fresh salmon pieces that have a light orange color, with shiny, smooth skin that is not too rough.
- Pressing with your hand should show that the salmon is firm, with clear elasticity, not too soft and not slimy on the surface.
- Do not buy salmon that is mushy, especially with an unusual fishy smell, as that indicates the salmon has spoiled due to being stored too long.

Cooking the salmon
Heat the pan on the stove, warming 1 tablespoon of cooking oil over medium heat. After about 3 minutes, add the salmon to the pan, gently flipping the fish to avoid breaking it!
When the fish is lightly cooked and both sides begin to turn golden, pour the prepared garlic fish sauce into the pan and cover it. Simmer the fish on low heat for about 2 – 3 minutes, then flip the fish. When the sauce starts to reduce and the garlic becomes fragrant and golden, turn off the heat and serve on a plate.
