Herb-Crusted Pan Seared Salmon with Lemon
Experience a vibrant twist on a classic salmon dish with a crisp, herb-infused crust and a burst of lemon freshness. This pan-seared delight features a tender 6-ounce salmon fillet enhanced with a medley of aromatic herbs, lightly seared in olive oil to lock in moisture and flavor, making it a perfect choice for a wholesome and satisfying meal.
INGREDIENTS
6 ounces Salmon Fillet
1 teaspoon Extra Virgin Olive Oil
1/2 Fresh Lemon
2 tablespoons Mixed Fresh Herbs
Salt and Black Pepper to taste
PREPARATION
Pat the salmon fillet dry with a paper towel and season both sides with salt and black pepper.
In a small bowl, combine the mixed fresh herbs. Zest the lemon and then slice it; reserve half the lemon slices for garnish.
Heat a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat and add the olive oil.
Once the oil is shimmering, place the salmon fillet skin-side down (if applicable) and press lightly to ensure even contact.
After about 3-4 minutes, sprinkle the herb mix and lemon zest evenly over the top of the salmon, allowing the herbs to adhere.
Carefully flip the salmon and cook for an additional 3-4 minutes until the salmon is cooked through but remains tender and moist.
Squeeze fresh lemon juice over the salmon just before serving and garnish with remaining lemon slices.
