Instructions

  1. Step 1: Pat salmon fillets (4, 6 oz each) dry with paper towels. Season both sides with 1/2 tsp salt and 1/4 tsp black pepper. Heat 2 tbsp olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering.
  2. Step 2: Place salmon skin-side down in the skillet and cook for 4-5 minutes until skin is crisp and golden, then flip and cook for 3-4 minutes more until opaque and cooked through.
  3. Step 3: Remove salmon and set aside. Add 3 tbsp honey, 1 tbsp Dijon mustard, and 2 tbsp chopped fresh dill to the skillet, stirring to combine. Simmer for 1 minute until slightly thickened.
  4. Step 4: Pour the glaze over the salmon, top with 1/2 sliced lemon, and serve immediately while hot.
