Equipment
Ingredients
- 2 4-6 ounce skinless salmon fillets
- 2 tablespoons olive oil, divided
- 1 teaspoon dried dill
- 1 teaspoon yellow mustard seed
- 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
- 1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
- 1 lemon, cut in wedges for serving (optional)
Instructions
- Season salmon. Rub salmon with 1 tablespoon oil on all sides. Evenly distribute spices over both sides of the salmon.
- Cook salmon. Heat remaining tablespoon oil in a large non-stick frying pan over medium-high heat. Add salmon and cook, undisturbed, until a brown crust forms, about 2 minutes. Flip and repeat on other side.
- Serve! Squeeze a lemon wedge over the salmon and enjoy.
Notes
- Let the oil get hot before adding the salmon fillets, like let it heat for 2-3 minutes or until you can begin to smell the olive oil and it is making streaks in the pan.
- Don't touch the salmon while it is cooking. Let it form a nice crust and start to turn opaque halfway up the side of the fillet before flipping.
- How long it takes to cook will depend on how thick it is. 2-3 minutes per side is about average.
