Ingredients
- 4 pieces salmon fillets
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 whole lemon
- 2 tablespoons fresh dill
- 0 olive oil spray
Directions
Step 1
Pat the salmon fillets dry with paper towels to ensure the skin becomes crispy during cooking.
Step 2
Sprinkle each fillet with salt and black pepper on both sides, ensuring even coverage.
Step 3
Zest the lemon and set aside the zest, then cut the lemon into wedges.
Step 4
Preheat a non-stick frying pan over medium-high heat. Lightly spray the bottom of the pan with olive oil spray to coat.
Step 5
Once the pan is hot, carefully place the salmon fillets skin-side down in the pan. Use a spatula to gently press down on the fillets to prevent curling.
Step 6
Allow the salmon to cook undisturbed for about 6 minutes or until the skin is crispy and lifts easily from the pan.
Step 7
Flip the salmon fillets and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes until the salmon is cooked through but still moist.
Step 8
Transfer the salmon to a serving plate and sprinkle with fresh dill and lemon zest.
Step 9
Serve the salmon with lemon wedges on the side for drizzling. Enjoy your low-fat meal!
