Fishy, Fishy, Fishy-oh

We all went into Aberystwyth this morning to do some shopping. Christopher spent some of his birthday money on a Kid Kinex set, so he and his Dad have been building 'monsters' together for most of the afternoon. We also dropped off his health forms at the school where he'll be starting nursery in January, then went on to the park for a bit.

While we were out I picked up some lovely salmon fillets. I ummed-and-aahed for a bit about whether to cook them with a crust of herby breadcrumbs, before consulting Christopher and deciding just to fry them as they were. I melted a bit of butter in a non-stick frying pan and fried the fillets on the 'fleshy' side for a minute or so, then turned them over and fried them on the skin side until they were cooked through. Soft, juicy fish, gorgeously crisp skin - what more could you want? Well, I added pesto-flavoured mash and some peas to the plates, which turned out to be a really good combination.
