Lemon Pepper Salmon

Simple ingredients that will completely awaken this tender salmon with a crispy exterior.

Ingredients:

• 4 skin-on salmon fillets
• 1 tsp. cracked black pepper
• ½ tsp. paprika
• ½ tsp. garlic powder
• ½ tsp. salt
• 1 tsp. grated lemon zest
• 2 tbsp. lemon juice, divided
• 1 tbsp. extra-virgin olive oil
• 2 tbsp. finely chopped fresh parsley
• Pinch of sea salt

Method:

• Step 1

  Pat salmon dry and place, skin-side down, in a medium bowl. Sprinkle with pepper, paprika, garlic powder, 1/2 teaspoon salt and 1 tablespoon lemon juice.

• Step 2

  Heat oil in a large non-stick pan over medium-high heat until simmering. Add the salmon, skin-side down; cook until the skin releases from the pan easily, about 4 minutes. Reduce heat to low and flip the salmon. Continue cooking until an instant-read thermometer inserted in the thickest part of the salmon registers 63°C, 3 to 5 minutes .

• Step 3

  Sprinkle the salmon with the remaining 1 tablespoon lemon juice, lemon zest, parsley and flaky salt.
