Ingredients
- 4 pieces Salmon fillets
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 tablespoon Unsalted butter
- 1 whole Lemon
- 2 tablespoons Fresh dill
- 2 cloves Garlic
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 0.5 cup Plain Greek yogurt
- 1 teaspoon Honey
Directions
Step 1
Pat the salmon fillets dry with a paper towel and season them with black pepper on both sides.
Step 2
Heat olive oil in a large non-stick skillet over medium-high heat.
Step 3
Once hot, place salmon fillets in the skillet skin-side up. Sear for 4-5 minutes, or until the salmon is deeply golden.
Step 4
Flip the salmon fillets, add 1 tablespoon of unsalted butter, and reduce the heat to medium. Continue cooking for another 4-5 minutes, basting the salmon with the melted butter occasionally, until the fillets are cooked through and easily flake with a fork.
Step 5
While the salmon is cooking, prepare the lemon dill sauce. Squeeze the juice of one lemon into a small bowl.
Step 6
Mince the garlic cloves and chop the fresh dill finely. Add these to the bowl with lemon juice.
Step 7
Combine the Greek yogurt with the lemon juice, garlic, dill, and honey. Mix well until smooth and consistent.
Step 8
Remove salmon fillets from the skillet and allow them to rest for a few minutes.
Step 9
Serve the salmon fillets on plates and drizzle with the prepared lemon dill sauce. Garnish with extra fresh dill if desired.
