    Easy Pan Fried Salmon with Lemon Dill Butter

    Super Easy Pan Fried Salmon with Lemon Dill Butter. Takes 20 minutes to make and only requires 5 ingredients!
    Prep Time: 10 minutes
    Cook Time: 10 minutes
    Total Time: 20 minutes
    Servings: 4

    Ingredients

    • 1 tablespoon olive oil
    • salt and pepper
    • 4 salmon filets, skin on
    • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
    • 1/2 teaspoon fresh dill
    • 1 tablespoon lemon juice

    Instructions

    • Add oil to a large skillet over medium high heat. Season salmon with salt and pepper.
    • Once hot add in salmon skin side down. (I typically do 2 at a time so I do not overcrowd the pan). Cook salmon for 5-7 minutes on skin side (depending on size).
    • Very carefully flip salmon. If the skin is sticking to the pan give it more time to cook. It should release easily from the pan. Cook for 1-3 minutes on this side until the salmon looks opaque.
    • Meanwhile in a small saucepan melt butter, dill and lemon juice. Brush the butter mixture onto the cooked salmon.
    • Serve immediately with lemon and dill for garnish.
