Easy Pan Seared Salmon with Lemon Dijon Sauce

Step 1

Whisk your lemon juice, dijon mustard, garlic and dill together in a bowl. Then divide your sauce in half into two smaller bowls and set them aside. (One bowl is for the raw salmon, the other is to serve with your cooked salmon.)

Step 2

Next, place your salmon fillets on a tray and pat them dry with a paper towel. Take one of your sauce bowls and brush your sauce over the fillets. Then season them with salt, pepper and paprika to taste.

Step 3

Next, heat a large skillet over medium high heat and spray it with non-stick cooking spray. Once the pan is hot, place your salmon fillets SKIN SIDE UP in the pan and cook for 3-4 minutes. Then flip your fillets and cook for 2-3 more minutes or until the salmon is cooked to your preferred doneness.

Step 4

Remove the salmon from the pan and serve immediately with lemon wedges and your reserved sauce.
