How To Make Greek Salmon with Lemon and Dill

1

Combine extra virgin olive oil, black pepper, chopped fresh dill, and fresh oregano in a non-metallic bowl. Mix well, then add the lemon zest and juice.

2

Place the salmon fillets in the marinade, turning them to coat evenly. Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, or up to 3 hours.

3

Once marinated, heat a heavy-bottomed frying pan or skillet over medium-high heat until hot.

4

Season the salmon fillets with salt, then place them presentation side down in the hot pan.

5

Cook undisturbed for 3 minutes. Carefully flip the salmon and cook for an additional 3 minutes.

Recipe Notes:

Herb substitution: If fresh herbs aren’t available, you can use dried oregano and dill; use 2 teaspoons of each.

Salmon skin: For optimal texture, use skinless salmon fillets, as the marinade may prevent the skin from crisping up.

Cooking method: Ensure the pan is hot before adding the salmon to achieve a golden crust.

Serving suggestion: Complement the dish with a glass of chilled white wine or ouzo for an authentic Greek experience.

Storage: Leftovers can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 2 days.

Marination time: For deeper flavor, marinate the salmon for up to 3 hours.
