Ingredients
- 4 pieces Salmon fillets
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 2 tablespoons Lemon juice
- 2 tablespoons Fresh dill, chopped
- 0.5 cup Mayonnaise

Directions
Step 1
Pat the salmon fillets dry with a paper towel and season both sides with salt, black pepper, and garlic powder.
Step 2
Heat olive oil in a large non-stick skillet over medium-high heat until hot but not smoking.
Step 3
Place the salmon fillets in the skillet, skin-side down if applicable. Cook undisturbed for 4-5 minutes until the skin is crispy and the bottom is browned.

Carefully turn the fillets and cook for an additional 3-4 minutes or until the salmon is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork.

While the salmon is cooking, prepare the lemon dill sauce by combining mayonnaise, lemon juice, chopped dill, lemon zest, and minced garlic in a small bowl. Stir well to combine all the ingredients.
Step 6
Adjust the seasoning of the sauce with additional salt or lemon juice, if desired.
Step 7
Remove the salmon from the skillet once cooked and let it rest for a minute.
Step 8
Serve each salmon fillet topped with a generous spoonful of lemon dill sauce and garnish with additional fresh dill if desired.
Step 9
Enjoy your delicious low-carb meal with a side of your choice, such as steamed broccoli or a fresh garden salad.
