Ingredients
Scale
- 2 salmon fillets (approximately 6 ounces each), skin on or off
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1/4 cup fresh dill, chopped
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 1 lemon, sliced into rounds
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Pat the salmon fillets dry with a paper towel. Season both sides of the salmon with salt and pepper, and mix the minced garlic, chopped dill, and lemon juice in a bowl.
- Heat the olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Add the salmon fillets, skin-side down, and sear for about 4-5 minutes.
- Flip the salmon and cook for another 3-4 minutes, pouring the lemon-dill mixture over the salmon. Add lemon slices to the skillet, cover, and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes.
- Remove the salmon, serve on a plate, and garnish with fresh dill and lemon slices. Enjoy!
Notes
- Use fresh, high-quality salmon for best results.
- Don’t overcook; the salmon should flake easily with a fork.
- Pat salmon dry before cooking for a crispy texture.
- Adjust lemon and dill to your taste preferences.
