Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces (5-6 ounces each) salmon fillets
- 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 teaspoon dried dill
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons, chopped fresh parsley
- 4 pieces lemon wedges
Instructions
Pat the salmon fillets dry with paper towels to remove any excess moisture.
In a small bowl, mix together the garlic powder, onion powder, dried dill, salt, and black pepper.
Sprinkle the spice mixture evenly over both sides of each salmon fillet.
Heat a large non-stick skillet over medium-high heat and add the olive oil.
Once the oil is hot and shimmering, place the salmon fillets in the skillet skin-side down.
Cook for about 4-5 minutes or until the skin is crispy and the salmon is mostly opaque.
Carefully flip the fillets and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes on the other side until cooked through.
Remove the salmon from the skillet and place onto a serving platter.
Drizzle the salmon with fresh lemon juice and garnish with chopped parsley.
Serve immediately with lemon wedges on the side for added flavor.
