Savor the bright, aromatic flavors of our Herb-Crusted Pan Seared Salmon with Lemon.

INGREDIENTS
6 oz Salmon Fillet
1 tsp Olive Oil
1 tbsp Fresh Thyme
1/4 tsp Garlic Powder
1/2 Lemon (zest and juice)
Salt and Black Pepper to taste
PREPARATION
Pat the salmon fillet dry with a paper towel and season lightly with salt and black pepper.
In a small dish, combine the fresh thyme, garlic powder, and a pinch of salt. Zest half a lemon into the mixture, mixing to form a coarse herb crust.
Brush the salmon evenly with olive oil, then press the herb mixture onto the top surface of the fillet.
Heat a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the salmon skin-side down (if applicable) and cook for about 3-4 minutes until a golden crust forms.
Carefully flip the salmon and cook for another 3-4 minutes or until the center reaches your desired doneness.
Just before removing from the pan, drizzle with a squeeze of fresh lemon juice.
Serve immediately, enjoying the herbaceous crust and vibrant lemon flavor.
