BASIC : FRESH FLAKED SALMON WITH FRESH PICKED FIGS SALAD

This a quick salad idea that I've been thinking about.  All my figs are canned, and their more salmon coming my way in October.  Can't wait.

INGREDIENTS

 3 to 4  fresh figs.
1/2 cup fresh cooked salmon
2 table spoons of pine nuts or walnuts.
A bunch of mix greens.   Anything except ice
1 small avocado.
2 Table spoons olive oil for dressing
1 Tablespoon of white Seame seeds.








 Put a handful of mix greens on a plate.
Slice up figs and put on salad.
Flake salmon and sprinkle on salad.
Add nuts and slice avocado.   Drizzle on olive oil and sprinkle on Seame seeds.  

Cooking the Salmon
Put the Salmon steak skin down in the pan.  Turn the pan to low and cover with a lid that fits.  Keep your eye on the color of the salmon. At first it will be bright reddish pink, and as it cooks it will turn into a lighter pink.  Also watch for white drops of fat to appear on the out side of the salmon as it cooks.
Next: Now if your looking at your salmon that is cooking and it appears to be done on the out side, it may not be done on the inside. Turn off the burner and take off the lid. Take two forks and very carefully pull the salmon apart and look in.  Try to pull it apart by the grain.  If you see dark red inside, it still need to cook more. Put in back on the burner on low to finish cooking.
 If it is done, then when you take the forks and pull the salmon apart gently it will flake apart really easily, and it should all be the same even light pink, no dark pink.
When the salmon is all the way done take a metal spatula and scoop the whole salmon up off the skin that will be stuck to the pan.   Put the salmon on a plate and let cool a bit then remove all the bones and then flake apart.
