Instructions

  1. Step 1: Pat dry 4 salmon fillets (6 oz each) and season both sides with 1 tsp salt and 1/2 tsp black pepper.
  2. Step 2: Heat 2 tbsp olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add salmon fillets skin-side down and cook for 4-5 minutes until edges are crispy and skin releases easily.
  3. Step 3: Flip salmon and cook for another 3-4 minutes until just cooked through and opaque.
  4. Step 4: Meanwhile, in a small bowl, whisk together 3 tbsp freshly squeezed lemon juice, 2 tbsp honey, and 2 minced garlic cloves until combined.
  5. Step 5: Pour lemon glaze over salmon in the pan and cook for 1 more minute, spooning glaze over fillets to caramelize slightly.
  6. Step 6: Remove salmon from heat and transfer to plates. Stir 1/4 cup Greek yogurt with 2 tbsp chopped fresh dill and dollop on top of each fillet to create a cool, snow-like topping.
  7. Step 7: Serve immediately with steamed vegetables or rice for a bright, fresh meal.
