Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces Salmon fillets
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 tablespoon Unsalted butter
- 1 whole Lemon
- 2 tablespoons Fresh dill
- 2 cloves Garlic
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 0.5 cup Plain Greek yogurt
- 1 teaspoon Honey
Instructions
Pat the salmon fillets dry with a paper towel and season them with black pepper on both sides.
Heat olive oil in a large non-stick skillet over medium-high heat.
Once hot, place salmon fillets in the skillet skin-side up. Sear for 4-5 minutes, or until the salmon is deeply golden.
Flip the salmon fillets, add 1 tablespoon of unsalted butter, and reduce the heat to medium. Continue cooking for another 4-5 minutes, basting the salmon with the melted butter occasionally, until the fillets are cooked through and easily flake with a fork.
While the salmon is cooking, prepare the lemon dill sauce. Squeeze the juice of one lemon into a small bowl.
Mince the garlic cloves and chop the fresh dill finely. Add these to the bowl with lemon juice.
Combine the Greek yogurt with the lemon juice, garlic, dill, and honey. Mix well until smooth and consistent.
Remove salmon fillets from the skillet and allow them to rest for a few minutes.
Serve the salmon fillets on plates and drizzle with the prepared lemon dill sauce. Garnish with extra fresh dill if desired.
