Method

  1. Heat the oil in an ovenproof frying pan over a medium heat, add the bacon and cook, stirring, for 5 minutes, until crispy. Remove from the pan and drain on kitchen paper.
  2. Season the salmon and add to the frying pan, skin-side down. Cook for 2-3 minutes, until the skin is crisp and golden. Turn the heat off, turn the fish over and leave to cook for 3 minutes in the residual heat. Remove the salmon fillets from the hob, cover loosely with foil and set aside.
  3. Make the vinaigrette. Put all the ingredients in a clean screw-top jar. Put on the lid and shake thoroughly.
