Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces (6 oz each) Salmon fillets
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 teaspoon Paprika
- 1 teaspoon Ground cumin
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 0.5 cup Plain Greek yogurt
- 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
- 1 tablespoon Honey
- 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
- 1 tablespoon (chopped) Fresh parsley
Instructions
Pat the salmon fillets dry with a paper towel and set them aside.
In a small bowl, mix together the paprika, ground cumin, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper.
Rub the spice mixture evenly onto both sides of the salmon fillets.
Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
Once the oil is hot, place the salmon fillets skin-side down in the skillet. Cook for 4-5 minutes, undisturbed, until the skin is crispy.
Flip the fillets carefully and continue cooking for another 4-5 minutes, or until the salmon is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork.
While the salmon is cooking, prepare the mustard sauce. In a small bowl, whisk together the Greek yogurt, Dijon mustard, honey, lemon juice, and chopped parsley until smooth.
Remove the cooked salmon from the skillet and transfer to serving plates.
Drizzle the mustard sauce over the salmon or serve it on the side.
Garnish with additional parsley if desired and serve immediately with your favorite side dishes.
