Step 1

Preheat a medium size skillet over medium high heat. Salt and pepper the salmon filets.

Step 2

Combine the butter, dill, garlic and lemon zest in a small bowl. Stir to combine. Set aside.

Step 3

In the preheated skillet, add the olive oil and cook the salmon (skin side up if it has skin) for 4-5 minutes on the first side, then flip it and cook another 4-5 minutes. The cook time will depend on the size and thickness of your salmon. You want the inside of the salmon to start to turn opaque and reach 135 degrees.

Step 4

After the salmon is cooked, remove from heat and top with 1 tablespoon of the dill butter. Serve immediately. Leftovers will keep refrigerated in an airtight container for 5 days.
