1
Pat dry the salmon fillets with paper towels. Season both sides with 0.5 teaspoon salt and 0.25 teaspoon black pepper.
2
In a small bowl, combine the fresh lemon juice (2 tablespoons) with the minced garlic (2 cloves). Set aside.
3
Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering.
4
Place the salmon fillets in the skillet, skin-side down. Cook for 4–5 minutes, until the skin is crisp and the flesh releases easily from the pan.
5
Flip the fillets and add the butter to the pan. As the butter melts, spoon it over the salmon to baste for 1–2 minutes.
6
Pour the lemon-garlic mixture over the fillets and sprinkle the chopped dill on top. Cook for an additional 1–2 minutes to infuse flavor.
7
Remove from heat and let rest for 1 minute. Serve the salmon fillets with a drizzle of pan juices and lemon wedges if desired.
