Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pieces Fresh salmon fillets
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil
- 0.25 teaspoon Freshly ground black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Dried thyme
- 1 teaspoon Lemon zest
- 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
- 1 tablespoon Fresh parsley
Instructions
Pat the salmon fillets dry with paper towels to remove any excess moisture.
In a small bowl, mix the black pepper, garlic powder, dried thyme, and lemon zest.
Rub the spice mixture evenly over both sides of the salmon fillets.
Heat the olive oil in a large non-stick skillet over medium-high heat.
Place the salmon fillets in the skillet, flesh-side down, and cook for about 4 minutes or until a golden crust forms.
Flip the salmon gently using a spatula and cook for another 4-5 minutes, or until the salmon is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork.
Remove the salmon from the skillet and let it rest for a minute.
Drizzle the lemon juice over the top of the salmon.
Garnish with freshly chopped parsley before serving.
