Ingredients
- 4 fillets of Salmon
- salt and pepper, to taste
- 2 tablespoons of olive oil
- 4 cloves of garlic, minced
- lemon, juice and zest
- 1 pinch of thyme
- 1 pinch of rosemary
- 1 pinch of parsley
- lemon, slices for garnish
Instructions
Season the Salmon Pat the salmon fillets dry with paper towels. Season both sides with salt and black pepper.
Prepare the Herb Mixture In a small bowl, mix together the minced garlic, lemon zest, lemon juice, dried thyme, dried rosemary, and dried parsley.
Coat Salmon Brush the salmon fillets with olive oil, then evenly coat them with the herb and lemon mixture. Allow the salmon to marinate for about 15-30 minutes.
Sear the Salmon Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Place the salmon fillets in the skillet, skin side down, and sear for 3-4 minutes until the skin is crispy and golden.
Flip and Cook Carefully flip the salmon fillets using a spatula. Cook the other side for an additional 3-4 minutes, or until the salmon is cooked to your desired level of doneness. The internal temperature should reach 145°F (63°C).
Garnish and Serve Garnish the seared salmon with lemon slices and fresh herbs, if desired.
