Ingredients
- 4 6-ounce pieces Fresh salmon fillets
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 2 Garlic cloves, minced
- 2 tablespoons Fresh dill, chopped
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley, chopped
- 1 teaspoon Lemon zest
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper, freshly ground
- 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
Directions
Step 1
Pat the salmon fillets dry with paper towels to remove any excess moisture.
Step 2
In a small bowl, combine the minced garlic, chopped dill, chopped parsley, lemon zest, and freshly ground black pepper.
Step 3
Rub the garlic and herb mixture evenly over the salmon fillets, pressing gently to adhere.
Step 4
Heat the olive oil in a large non-stick skillet over medium-high heat.
Step 5
Once the oil shimmers, place the salmon fillets skin-side down in the skillet. Cook for 4-5 minutes, allowing the skin to crisp.
Step 6
Carefully flip the fillets using a spatula. Cook for an additional 3-4 minutes, or until the salmon is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork.
Step 7
Remove the skillet from the heat and squeeze the lemon juice over the top of the salmon fillets for a fresh finish.
Step 8
Serve the salmon hot, garnished with additional fresh herbs if desired.
