1
Prepare the Salmon
Rinse the salmon fillets under cold water and pat them dry with paper towels. Ensure all skin scales are removed.
2
Season the Salmon
Sprinkle salt and black pepper evenly over both sides of the salmon fillets. Drizzle with lemon juice and let sit for 10 minutes to absorb the flavors.

3
Heat the Scampi Butter
In a large skillet, melt the scampi butter over medium heat until it starts to foam gently but does not brown.
4
Cook the Salmon
Carefully place the salmon fillets in the skillet, skin-side down. Cook for about 4-5 minutes until the skin is crispy, then gently flip and cook for an additional 4-5 minutes until the salmon is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork.

5
Plate the Dish
Remove the salmon from the skillet and place it on a serving platter. Drizzle any remaining scampi butter over the top.
6
Garnish
Sprinkle fresh dill over the salmon and serve with lemon wedges on the side.
