  • You can buy skinless salmon or easily peel the skin off the salmon.
  • Salmon and  shrimp takes different times to sear.  Sear shrimp for 30 seconds on each side
  •  I usually have  pepper mix lying around but you can make yours at home by blending one bell pepper and 1 cayenne pepper and boiling it till it reduces to half it's size
