Ingredients

4 (6 oz each) salmon fillets
2 tbsp olive oil
2 tbsp fresh dill
1/2 tsp salt
1/4 tsp black pepper
1, sliced into wedges lemon

Instructions

Step 1: Pat the salmon fillets dry with paper towels and season both sides evenly with 1/2 tsp salt and 1/4 tsp black pepper.
Step 2: Heat 1 tbsp olive oil in a large non-stick skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering (about 1 minute). Place salmon skin-side down and cook for 4-5 minutes until golden brown and crisp.
Step 3: Flip the salmon and cook for 3-4 minutes, or until the fish is opaque and flakes easily with a fork, reaching an internal temperature of 125°F.
Step 4: Drizzle the cooked salmon with the remaining 1 tbsp olive oil and top with 2 tbsp fresh dill. Serve immediately with lemon wedges.
