INGREDIENTS
6 oz Salmon Fillet
1 tsp Extra Virgin Olive Oil
1 tbsp Fresh Mixed Herbs (Parsley, Thyme, Dill)
1/2 Lemon (juice and zest)
Salt and Pepper to taste
PREPARATION
Pat the salmon fillet dry with a paper towel. Season both sides generously with salt and pepper.
In a small bowl, combine the finely chopped mixed herbs with a pinch of salt. Gently press the herb mixture onto the top side of the salmon to create a crust.
Heat a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat and add the olive oil. Once shimmering, place the salmon herb side down first.
Sear the salmon for about 3-4 minutes until a golden crust forms. Carefully flip and cook the other side for an additional 3-4 minutes until the salmon is just cooked through.
During the last minute of cooking, squeeze the juice of half a lemon over the salmon and optionally add some lemon zest for extra brightness.
Remove the salmon from the skillet and let it rest for a minute before serving. Enjoy your flavorful, nutritionally balanced meal.
