Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces Salmon fillets
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 2 tablespoons Lemon juice
- 2 tablespoons Fresh dill, chopped
- 0.5 cup Mayonnaise
- 1 teaspoon Lemon zest
- 1 clove Garlic, minced
Instructions
Pat the salmon fillets dry with a paper towel and season both sides with salt, black pepper, and garlic powder.
Heat olive oil in a large non-stick skillet over medium-high heat until hot but not smoking.
Place the salmon fillets in the skillet, skin-side down if applicable. Cook undisturbed for 4-5 minutes until the skin is crispy and the bottom is browned.
Carefully turn the fillets and cook for an additional 3-4 minutes or until the salmon is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork.
While the salmon is cooking, prepare the lemon dill sauce by combining mayonnaise, lemon juice, chopped dill, lemon zest, and minced garlic in a small bowl. Stir well to combine all the ingredients.
Adjust the seasoning of the sauce with additional salt or lemon juice, if desired.
Remove the salmon from the skillet once cooked and let it rest for a minute.
Serve each salmon fillet topped with a generous spoonful of lemon dill sauce and garnish with additional fresh dill if desired.
Enjoy your delicious low-carb meal with a side of your choice, such as steamed broccoli or a fresh garden salad.
