Instructions

Step 1: In a small bowl, whisk together 3 tbsp Dijon mustard, 2 tbsp chopped fresh dill, 1 tbsp honey, and 1 tbsp lemon juice until smooth and set aside.
Step 2: Pat dry 4 salmon fillets with skin and season both sides with 1 tsp salt and 1/2 tsp black pepper.
Step 3: Heat 2 tbsp olive oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering. Place the salmon fillets skin-side down and cook for 5-6 minutes without moving until the skin is crispy and edges are opaque.
Step 4: Flip the fillets carefully and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes until the salmon is just cooked through.
Step 5: Brush the prepared mustard-dill glaze generously over the salmon fillets. Remove from heat and let rest for 2 minutes before serving with extra glaze on the side.
