Preparation

Step 1
In a large, heavy skillet over medium heat, fry bacon until crisp. Transfer to paper towels to drain, leaving rendered fat in pan. Wrap bacon in foil to keep warm.
Step 2
Return skillet to medium-high heat. Add salmon fillets skin side down, and fry until skin is golden and crisp, about 2 minutes. Turn fillets, and fry until browned and cooked to taste, 2 to 3 minutes longer.
Step 3
Transfer salmon to a serving plate. Crumble bacon evenly over fillets, and sprinkle with diced gherkins. Serve immediately.
