Ingredients

🐟 6 salmon fillets
🧂 1 tablespoon garlic powder
🌿 1 tablespoon mixed herbs
🌶️ 1 teaspoon paprika
🍯 2 tablespoons yellow mustard
🫒 2 tablespoons oil for pan-frying
🍋 Juice of 1 lemon
🧄 3 cloves garlic, minced

Instructions

1- Prepare the Fish:

• Begin by seasoning each salmon fillet generously with garlic powder, mixed herbs, and paprika. Use your fingers to rub the seasoning into the fillets for enhanced flavor.
• Spoon approximately 1 teaspoon of yellow mustard onto each fillet, spreading it evenly over the surface.

2- Pan-Fry the Salmon:

• Heat oil in a non-stick pan over medium-high heat. Ensure the pan is sufficiently hot to achieve a good sear.
• Place the salmon fillets in the pan, skin-side down if the skin is on. Allow the fillets to cook undisturbed for about 8 minutes, enabling a delicious crust to form.
• Carefully flip the fillets and cook the other side for 8 additional minutes until the salmon is browned and cooked through.

3- Prepare the Sauce:

• In the same pan, reduce the heat to low. Pour the lemon juice over the salmon and add the minced garlic.
• Cover the pan and let it simmer for 2-3 minutes. This step allows the salmon to absorb the flavors of the lemon-garlic sauce.

4- Serve:

• Once the sauce has slightly reduced and the salmon is fully cooked, remove the fillets from the pan.
• Plate the salmon and drizzle any remaining sauce from the pan over each fillet.
