Ingredients

4 (6 oz each) salmon fillets
2 tbsp olive oil
1, sliced lemon
1 tbsp, chopped fresh dill
1 lb, florets broccoli
1/2 tsp salt
1/4 tsp black pepper

Instructions

Step 1: Pat 4 salmon fillets (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.
Step 2: Place salmon skin-side down in the skillet and cook for 5-6 minutes until skin is crisp and golden. Flip and cook for 3-4 minutes more until salmon is opaque and flakes easily.
Step 3: Remove salmon to a plate. Add 1 lemon, sliced, and 1 tbsp fresh dill to the skillet, stirring for 30 seconds to infuse. Pour lemon-dill oil over salmon. Steam 1 lb broccoli florets for 5-7 minutes until bright green and tender-crisp.
