📝 Ingredients

• 3 tablespoons olive oil (or avocado oil)
• 1 1/2 tablespoons lemon juice
• 1 tablespoon minced fresh dill
• 1 1/2 tablespoons Greek seasoning
• 1 pinch salt and pepper
• 12 ounces salmon fillets (2 skin-on fillets, each about 6 ounces)
• 2 tablespoons olive oil (or avocado oil)

👨‍🍳 Instructions

1. 1Add all marinade ingredients to a small glass bowl. Whisk well to combine. Note: You can do this up to a day in advance. Cover and store the marinade in the refrigerator until you're ready to use it.
2. 2--- Marinate the Salmon ---
3. 3Pat the salmon fillets dry with paper towels. Transfer to a glass baking dish or heavy-duty zip top storage bag. Pour the marinade over the salmon, then turn the fillets over, to fully coat both sides.
4. 4Marinate in the container at room temperature for 30 minutes, or set the covered or sealed container in the refrigerator to marinate for up to 2 hours. Alternatively, you can seal the bag or container and freeze the salmon in the marinade for 3-4 months.
5. 5--- Cook Salmon on Stove ---
6. 6Heat 2 tablespoons of oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Remove fish from marinade, shaking off any excess. When the oil is hot, set the salmon fillets in the pan, skin side down.
7. 7Cook the fish, without moving the fillets around in the skillet, for 3-4 minutes. Then, use a large spatula to carefully turn the salmon fillets over.
8. 8Continue cooking fish for another 4 minutes. To prevent the salmon from being dry, do not press the fillets down as they cook.
9. 9When the salmon is flaky and cooked through to an internal temperature of 145℉, remove the fillets from the pan. Plate and serve while warm.
