Herb Crusted Salmon with Lemon Mustard Sauce


Pan-frying is such an easy & quick way to cook fish, so I often cook fish this way.
This recipe is sooooo simple and easy, takes about only 10 minutes, and very tasty. I love the combination of dill & lemon : ) I sometimes drizzle a tiny bit of Japanese soy sauce at the end, which goes really well, too.

Ingredients:
Salmon fillet
Generous amount of fresh dill (chopped ) - more the better!
Dry oregano (the amount you like, but much less than the dill)
Garlic (1-2 cloves, minced)

Lemon Mustard Sauce:
Combine the following
Suggested ratio - Lemon Juice (3): Dijon Mustard (1) : Olive Oil (0.5)

1. Season both sides of the salmon fillet with salt and pepper.
2. Coat salmon fillet on both sides with olive oil.
3. In a bowl, combine dill, oregano and garlic. Coat salmon fillet with the herb mixture. Press firmly so that the herb mixture sticks to the fillet well.
4. Heat olive oil or butter in a non-stick pan and fry the salmon fillet for about 5 min (medium-high). Turn over and cook 5-6 minutes until the salmon feels firm to the touch. Drizzle the lemony mustard sauce.
