Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 6-ounce pieces Fresh salmon fillets
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 2 Garlic cloves, minced
- 2 tablespoons Fresh dill, chopped
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley, chopped
- 1 teaspoon Lemon zest
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper, freshly ground
- 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
Instructions
Pat the salmon fillets dry with paper towels to remove any excess moisture.
In a small bowl, combine the minced garlic, chopped dill, chopped parsley, lemon zest, and freshly ground black pepper.
Rub the garlic and herb mixture evenly over the salmon fillets, pressing gently to adhere.
Heat the olive oil in a large non-stick skillet over medium-high heat.
Once the oil shimmers, place the salmon fillets skin-side down in the skillet. Cook for 4-5 minutes, allowing the skin to crisp.
Carefully flip the fillets using a spatula. Cook for an additional 3-4 minutes, or until the salmon is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork.
Remove the skillet from the heat and squeeze the lemon juice over the top of the salmon fillets for a fresh finish.
Serve the salmon hot, garnished with additional fresh herbs if desired.
