This pan-seared salmon with dill sauce recipe features flaky salmon paired with creamy, tangy dill sauce made from yogurt. It's a healthy, quick, and flavorful dinner option!
Ingredients
- 1 tablespoon canola oil
- 4 salmon fillets (6 ounces each)
- 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup reduced-fat plain yogurt
- 1/4 cup reduced-fat mayonnaise
- 1/4 cup finely chopped cucumber
- 1 teaspoon snipped fresh dill
Instructions
- Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat and add canola oil, swirling to coat the pan.
- Season the salmon fillets on both sides with Italian seasoning and salt.
- Place the salmon, skin side down, into the heated skillet. Reduce the heat to medium and cook for about 5 minutes, then carefully flip and cook an additional 5 minutes until the flesh flakes easily with a fork and the skin is crisp.
- While the salmon cooks, combine the yogurt, mayonnaise, chopped cucumber, and fresh dill in a small bowl. Mix until smooth and creamy.
- Serve each salmon fillet with a generous dollop of dill sauce on top or alongside as a dipping option.
