Pan-Seared Salmon with Creamy Cucumber Salad
Pan-seared salmon fillets served with a crisp cucumber salad tossed in a bright lemon-dill dressing for a refreshing finish.
INGREDIENTS
6 oz salmon fillet
0.5 cup non-fat Greek yogurt
1 cup English cucumber
2 tbsp red onion
1 tbsp fresh dill
1 tbsp lemon juice
1 tsp extra virgin olive oil
0.25 tsp sea salt
0.25 tsp black pepper
PREPARATION
Thinly slice the English cucumber into rounds and finely dice the red onion.
In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the non-fat Greek yogurt, lemon juice, chopped fresh dill, and half of the sea salt and black pepper.
Add the sliced cucumbers and diced onions to the bowl, tossing until evenly coated in the dressing, then set aside in the refrigerator to chill.
Pat the salmon fillet dry with a paper towel and season both sides with the remaining sea salt and black pepper.
Heat the extra virgin olive oil in a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering.
Place the salmon in the pan, skin-side up, and sear for 4 to 5 minutes without moving it to develop a golden-brown crust.
Flip the salmon carefully and cook for another 3 to 4 minutes until the fish is opaque and flakes easily with a fork.
Plate the warm salmon immediately alongside the chilled cucumber salad for a contrast of temperatures.
