Ingredients
- 4 6-ounce portions Salmon fillets
- 1 teaspoon Sea salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Dried dill
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 4 wedges Lemon wedges
Directions
Step 1
Remove the salmon fillets from the refrigerator and pat them dry with paper towels. This will help them crisp up during cooking.
Step 2
Season the salmon fillets on both sides with sea salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and dried dill.
Step 3
Heat a large non-stick skillet over medium-high heat and add the olive oil.
Step 4
Once the oil is hot and shimmering, carefully place the salmon fillets in the skillet skin-side down. Press them down gently with a spatula to ensure even contact with the pan.
Step 5
Let the salmon cook undisturbed for about 5-6 minutes or until the skin is crispy and the salmon is mostly cooked through.
Step 6
Carefully flip the salmon fillets and continue to cook for an additional 2-3 minutes until the other side is golden and the fish flakes easily with a fork.
Step 7
Remove the salmon from the skillet and transfer to serving plates.
Step 8
Serve the crispy pan-fried salmon with lemon wedges on the side for squeezing over the fish for added freshness.
