Ingredients
  

  • 3 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
  • 1 tablespoon fresh dill (Note 1)
  • 1 tablespoon fresh oregano (Note 1)
  • ½ teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 lemon zest and juice
  • 4 fresh salmon fillets 6oz/170g each (Note 2)
  • ½ teaspoon salt

Instructions
 

  • Mix the extra virgin olive together with the black pepper, the chopped fresh dill, and fresh oregano together in a non-metallic bowl. Stir well then add in the zest and juice of the lemon.
    3 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
    1 tablespoon fresh dill
    1 tablespoon fresh oregano
    ½ teaspoon black pepper
    1 lemon



  • Place the salmon fillets into the marinade and turn them to coat. Set them aside in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes and up to 3 hours.
    4 fresh salmon fillets



  • Once the salmon has marinated, place a heavy paced frying pan or skillet over medium-high heat and allow it to get hot.
  • Season the salmon fillets with the salt and then place the salmon presentation side down into the pan.
    ½ teaspoon salt



  • Cook undisturbed for 3 minutes. Carefully flip the salmon and cook for a further 3 minutes.

Notes

  1. You can use dried herbs in place of the fresh, just use 2 teaspoons of each instead.
  2. We prefer this dish with skin off salmon fillets because the marinade stops the skin from crisping up and soggy fish skin is gross!
