Ingredients

  • 2 pieces Salmon fillets, skin-on
  • 1 tablespoon Olive oil
  • 2 tablespoons Lemon juice, freshly squeezed
  • 1 tablespoon Fresh dill, chopped
  • 1 clove Garlic, minced
  • 1/4 teaspoon Black pepper, freshly ground
  • 1/8 teaspoon Sea salt

Instructions

  1. 1

    Pat the salmon fillets dry with paper towels; lightly season both sides with the sea salt and black pepper.

  2. 2

    Heat the olive oil in a non‑stick skillet over medium‑high heat until shimmering, then place the salmon fillets skin‑side down and sear for 4‑5 minutes without moving, until the skin is crisp and the fish releases easily from the pan.

  3. 3

    Flip the fillets and cook an additional 3‑4 minutes, or until the interior reaches desired doneness; remove from heat and set aside on a warm plate.

  4. 4

    In a small bowl whisk together the lemon juice, minced garlic, and chopped dill; drizzle the sauce over the cooked salmon just before serving.
