Rinse and pat dry the salmon. Cut into smaller pieces.
To a medium bowl, add garlic, lemon juice, methi, olive oil, salt and red pepper flakes . Mix well and add salmon, mixing gently to coat the salmon with the marinade.
Add olive oil to a pan on medium heat and arrange salmon pieces on the pan.
Cook uncovered for 6 to 8 minutes depending on the thickness of the salmon turning once or twice. The skin will loosen during the cooking process and can be removed before serving. Enjoy hot.

Skin-on boneless fillet of salmon works best for this recipe. You can also use salmon steaks if you like. Simply adjust the cooking time based on the thickness of the salmon. A digital thermometer can be used to check for doneness. I always make sure that the temperature of the thickest side is 145 degrees F
If using frozen fish fillets, make sure to thaw them fully before marinating
Dried fenugreek leaves (Kasoori methi) can be used in place of fresh methi leaves. Simple crush 1 tablespoon of Kasoori methi on the palm of your hands and add them to the marinade
Instead of pan frying, you can also bake (400 F for 12 to 15 minutes) or air fry (350 F for 8 minutes) the marinated salmon.
