Herb-Crusted Pan Seared Salmon with Lemon
Enjoy a beautifully seared salmon fillet with a crisp herb crust enhanced by a zesty lemon finish. This dish perfectly balances savory and citrus notes, offering a light yet satisfying meal ideal for any time of day.
INGREDIENTS
5 oz Salmon Fillet
0.5 tbsp Olive Oil
0.25 tsp Garlic Powder
0.25 tsp Dried Thyme
0.25 tsp Dried Oregano
Salt and Pepper to taste
Juice and Zest of 1/2 Lemon
PREPARATION
Pat the salmon dry with a paper towel and season both sides with salt, pepper, garlic powder, dried thyme, and dried oregano.
Zest the lemon and set aside half for later use; squeeze the juice from the remaining half.
Heat the olive oil in a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering.
Place the salmon in the skillet, skin-side down if applicable, and let sear undisturbed for about 3-4 minutes until a golden crust forms.
Carefully flip the salmon and cook for an additional 3-4 minutes, or until the fish is opaque and flakes easily with a fork.
Remove the salmon from the pan and drizzle with lemon juice and sprinkle the reserved lemon zest over the top before serving.
