Ingredients
Scale
For the Salmon
- 4 salmon fillets (6 oz each)
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- Salt and pepper (to taste)
- Lemon wedges (for serving)
For the Lemon Dill Sauce
- 1/4 cup fresh dill, chopped (or 1 tablespoon dried dill)
- 1/4 cup sour cream or Greek yogurt
- 2 tablespoons mayonnaise
- 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice (freshly squeezed)
- 1 clove garlic, minced
- Salt and pepper (to taste)
Instructions
Step 1: Prepare the Lemon Dill Sauce
- In a small bowl, combine the chopped dill, sour cream (or Greek yogurt), mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, lemon juice, and minced garlic. Mix until well combined.
- Add salt and pepper to taste. Set aside to allow the flavors to meld.
Step 2: Cook the Salmon
- In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat.
- Pat the salmon fillets dry with paper towels and season both sides with salt and pepper.
- Place the salmon fillets skin-side down in the hot skillet. Cook for about 4-5 minutes without moving them, until the skin is crispy and the salmon is cooked about halfway up the sides.
- Carefully flip the salmon fillets and cook for an additional 3-4 minutes, or until the salmon is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork.
Step 3: Serve
- Remove the salmon from the skillet and place on serving plates.
- Spoon the lemon dill sauce over the salmon fillets.
- Serve with lemon wedges on the side for an extra burst of flavor.
