Ingredients
- 2 salmon fillets (6–8 oz each) from Fish Foodies, skin-on if possible
- 1 tbsp olive oil + 1 tbsp butter
- 1 tsp kosher salt, 1/2 tsp black pepper
- 1 tsp garlic powder or 1 crushed garlic clove
- 1 lemon (zest + wedges)
- 2 tbsp chopped fresh dill or parsley
- Optional: pinch red pepper flakes, 1 tsp Dijon
Equipment

Step-by-Step (Crispy Skin, Tender Center)
- Pat dry & season: Dry your Fish Foodies fillets thoroughly. Season both sides with salt, pepper, and garlic.
- Preheat the pan: Heat olive oil over medium-high until shimmering. Add butter; when foamy, you’re ready.
- Skin-side down: Place salmon away from you. Press 10–15 seconds to prevent curl. Sear 4–5 minutes.
