Herb-Crusted Pan Seared Salmon with Lemon
Enjoy a beautifully pan-seared salmon fillet encrusted with aromatic dried herbs and a burst of lemon. This light yet flavorful dish offers a perfect harmony of crisp, well-seared skin and tender, juicy fish that sings with the freshness of lemon zest and dried thyme and parsley.
INGREDIENTS
6 ounces Salmon Fillet
2 teaspoons Olive Oil
1 whole Lemon
1/2 teaspoon Dried Thyme
1/2 teaspoon Dried Parsley
1 pinch Salt
1 pinch Black Pepper
PREPARATION
Pat the salmon dry with a paper towel to ensure a crispy skin.
Season the salmon on both sides with a pinch of salt and black pepper.
In a small bowl, combine the dried thyme and dried parsley.
Brush the salmon lightly with olive oil and press the herb mixture onto the top side of the fillet to create a crust.
Heat a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat and add the remaining olive oil.
Place the salmon herb-side down in the pan and sear for about 3-4 minutes until a golden crust forms.
Turn the salmon over and cook for another 3-4 minutes, or until the fish is opaque and flakes easily with a fork.
Squeeze fresh lemon juice over the cooked salmon and garnish with a bit of lemon zest.
Serve immediately and enjoy the vibrant flavors.
