Ingredients
- 4 Salmon Filets 4 ounces each
- 2 tbsp Olive Oil
- 1 tsp Kosher Salt
- 1/2 tsp Ground Black Pepper
- 1 tbsp Fresh Dill
- 1 Lemon cut into wedges
Instructions
- Prep the Salmon. Pat the salmon fillets dry with paper towels. This helps achieve a crispy skin.
- Season the Salmon. Season both sides of the salmon with salt and black pepper.
- Heat the Pan. Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add olive oil and let it heat until shimmering.
- Sear the Salmon. Place the salmon fillets skin-side down in the hot skillet. Press down gently with a spatula to ensure even contact with the pan. Cook for 4-5 minutes, until the skin is crispy and golden brown.
- Flip and Finish. Carefully sprinkle on fresh dill, flip the salmon, and cook for another 2-3 minutes, or until the salmon is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork.
- Serve. Remove the salmon from the pan and serve with lemon wedges and your favorite sides. Garnish with fresh herbs if desired.
