INGREDIENTS
5 ounces Salmon Fillet
2 teaspoons Olive Oil
1 tablespoon Lemon Juice
1 teaspoon Lemon Zest
1 tablespoon Fresh Parsley
1 garlic clove
1 teaspoon Dried Thyme
Salt and Pepper to taste
PREPARATION
Pat the salmon fillet dry with a paper towel and season both sides lightly with salt and pepper.
In a small bowl, combine the olive oil, lemon juice, lemon zest, minced garlic, chopped parsley, and dried thyme.
Coat the salmon fillet evenly with the herb mixture, ensuring a light crust forms on the surface.
Heat a non-stick pan over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the salmon fillet skin-side down (if applicable). Sear for about 3-4 minutes until the crust is golden.
Carefully flip the salmon and cook for an additional 3-4 minutes, or until the fillet is just cooked through and opaque in the middle.
Remove the salmon from the pan and let it rest for a minute. Serve with an extra squeeze of lemon if desired.
