Instructions

Step 1: Pat dry 4 salmon fillets (6 oz each) and season both sides with 1 tsp salt and 1/2 tsp black pepper.
Step 2: Heat 2 tbsp olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Place salmon skin-side down and cook for 4 minutes until the edges are crispy.
Step 3: Flip the salmon and brush the top side generously with 3 tbsp pure maple syrup. Continue cooking for another 3 minutes until the salmon is cooked through and the glaze caramelizes lightly.
Step 4: In a small bowl, whisk together 2 tbsp Dijon mustard, 1 tbsp lemon juice, and 1 tbsp chopped fresh dill to create the mustard-dill sauce.
Step 5: Remove salmon from the skillet and plate. Spoon the mustard-dill sauce over each fillet and serve immediately with your choice of sides.
