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 nonstick skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering, about 2 minutes.
Step 3: Place the salmon skin-side down and cook for 4-5 minutes until the edges turn crispy and golden; flip carefully and cook for another 3 minutes until opaque and cooked through.
Step 4: Meanwhile, in a small bowl, whisk together 3 tbsp fresh lemon juice, 2 tbsp orange juice, 1 tbsp honey, 1 clove minced garlic, 2 tbsp chopped fresh dill, and 2 tbsp chopped fresh parsley until combined and fragrant.
Step 5: Remove salmon from heat, spoon the citrus herb glaze over the fillets while hot, letting the sauce warm and slightly thicken on contact before serving.
