Toutes les étapes

1. 1

   Pat the salmon fillets dry thoroughly with paper towels. Season both sides generously with salt and black pepper.

2. 2

   Heat the olive oil in a large non-stick skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering.

3. 3

   Carefully place the salmon fillets, skin-side down if applicable, into the hot skillet. Sear for 4-6 minutes, or until the skin is crispy and golden brown.

4. 4

   Flip the salmon fillets and reduce the heat to medium. Cook for another 3-5 minutes, or until the salmon is cooked through to your desired doneness.

5. 5

   While the salmon cooks, prepare the dressing: Squeeze the juice from half of the lemon into a small bowl. Add the chopped fresh dill and drained capers. Whisk gently to combine.

6. 6

   Once the salmon is cooked, transfer the fillets to serving plates.

7. 7

   Spoon the lemon-dill-caper dressing evenly over each salmon fillet.

8. 8

   Garnish with a fresh lemon wedge and an extra sprig of dill if desired. Serve immediately.
