Ingredients

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

Instructions

Step 1: Pat salmon fillets dry with paper towels and season both sides with 1/2 tsp sea 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).
Step 3: Place salmon skin-side down in the skillet and cook for 5-6 minutes without moving, until the skin is crispy and golden. Flip and cook for an additional 3-4 minutes, until the salmon is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork.
Step 4: Remove salmon from the skillet and top with 1/2 lemon slices and 1 tbsp fresh dill. Serve immediately.
