Instructions

  1. Step 1: In a small bowl, whisk together 3 tbsp lemon juice, 2 tbsp honey, 2 minced garlic cloves, and 1 tbsp olive oil to make the glaze.
  2. Step 2: Pat dry 4 salmon fillets and season with 1 tsp salt and 1/2 tsp black pepper. Heat 1 tbsp olive oil in a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat.
  3. Step 3: Add salmon fillets skin-side down and cook for 4-5 minutes until the edges are crispy and golden. Flip and brush the tops generously with the lemon-honey glaze.
  4. Step 4: Cook an additional 3-4 minutes while spooning more glaze over the salmon until cooked through and glaze is sticky.
  5. Step 5: Meanwhile, combine 1 large thinly sliced cucumber, 1/3 cup Greek yogurt, 2 tbsp chopped fresh dill, and a pinch of salt in a bowl. Mix gently to create a creamy cucumber salad.
  6. Step 6: Serve the glazed salmon alongside the dill cucumber salad for a bright, fresh meal.
