2 tablespoons Olive oil
2 tablespoons Lemon juice
2 tablespoons, chopped Fresh dill
2 cloves, minced Garlic
2 tablespoons Butter
1/2 teaspoon Salt

Step 2: Place salmon skin-side down in the skillet and cook for 4 minutes without moving. Flip carefully and cook for another 3-4 minutes until the fish is opaque and flakes easily.
Step 3: Remove salmon from skillet and set aside. Add 2 tablespoons minced garlic and 2 tablespoons chopped fresh dill to the skillet, cooking for 30 seconds until fragrant.
Step 4: Stir in 2 tablespoons lemon juice and 2 tablespoons butter, swirling to melt. Pour the sauce over the salmon immediately, ensuring it coats the fish evenly. Serve hot with lemon wedges.
