Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pieces Salmon fillets, skin-on
- 2 tablespoons Avocado oil
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 0.25 teaspoons Black pepper
- 1 whole Lemon, cut into wedges
- 1 tablespoon Fresh dill, chopped
Instructions
Pat the salmon fillets dry with paper towels to remove excess moisture, ensuring the skin will get crispy.
Season the salmon fillets on both sides with salt and black pepper.
Heat avocado oil in a large non-stick skillet over medium-high heat until hot but not smoking.
Place the salmon fillets skin-side down in the skillet. You should hear a sizzle; if not, the pan may not be hot enough.
Cook the salmon skin-side down for about 6-7 minutes, pressing down gently with a spatula to ensure even contact with the pan, until the skin is crispy and releases easily from the pan.
Flip the salmon fillets carefully and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes or until the desired degree of doneness.
Remove the salmon from the pan and let it rest for a minute.
Serve with lemon wedges and sprinkle fresh dill over the top for garnish.
