Instructions

  1. Step 1: Season 4 salmon fillets with 1 tsp salt and 1/2 tsp black pepper. Heat 2 tbsp olive oil in a large non-stick skillet over medium-high heat.
  2. Step 2: Place salmon fillets skin-side down and cook for 5-6 minutes until the skin is crisp and golden. Flip and cook for another 3-4 minutes until just cooked through.
  3. Step 3: In a small bowl, whisk together 3 tbsp honey and 1 tbsp Dijon mustard. Brush the glaze on the salmon in the last minute of cooking to caramelize slightly.
  4. Step 4: For the cucumber salad, combine 1 large thinly sliced cucumber, 1/4 thinly sliced red onion, 2 tbsp lemon juice, 1/4 cup Greek yogurt, and 2 tbsp chopped fresh dill in a bowl. Toss gently and season with salt to taste.
  5. Step 5: Serve the glazed salmon alongside a generous portion of the cucumber and dill salad.
