Ingredients

4 × 1/2 fillet Fish (salmon, atlantic, farmed, raw)
2 tbsp Vegetable oil (olive)
2 tbsp Butter (unsalted)
3 clove Garlic (raw)
3 tbsp Lemon juice (raw)
4 × 5 sprigs Spices (dill weed, fresh)
1/2 tsp Salt (table)
1/2 × 5 ml ground Spices (pepper, black)

Instructions

1 Remove the salmon from the fridge 15 minutes before cooking. Pat dry with paper towel and season both sides with salt and pepper.
2 Heat the olive oil in a large non-stick skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering.
3 Place the salmon fillets skin-side up in the pan. Cook without moving for 4 minutes until a golden crust forms.
4 Flip the fillets carefully. Reduce heat to medium. Add the butter and minced garlic to the pan.
5 Cook for another 3-4 minutes, basting the salmon with the garlic butter, until the fish flakes easily with a fork.
6 Squeeze the fresh lemon juice over the salmon. Scatter the fresh dill on top.
7 Serve immediately with the pan juices spooned over. Pairs well with roasted asparagus or steamed rice.
