Ingredients
- 2 pieces Salmon fillets, skin-on
- 2 tablespoons Avocado oil
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 0.25 teaspoons Black pepper
- 1 whole Lemon, cut into wedges
- 1 tablespoon Fresh dill, chopped
Directions
Step 1
Pat the salmon fillets dry with paper towels to remove excess moisture, ensuring the skin will get crispy.
Step 2
Season the salmon fillets on both sides with salt and black pepper.
Step 3
Heat avocado oil in a large non-stick skillet over medium-high heat until hot but not smoking.
Step 4
Place the salmon fillets skin-side down in the skillet. You should hear a sizzle; if not, the pan may not be hot enough.
Step 5
Cook the salmon skin-side down for about 6-7 minutes, pressing down gently with a spatula to ensure even contact with the pan, until the skin is crispy and releases easily from the pan.
Step 6
Flip the salmon fillets carefully and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes or until the desired degree of doneness.
Step 7
Remove the salmon from the pan and let it rest for a minute.
Step 8
Serve with lemon wedges and sprinkle fresh dill over the top for garnish.
