Instructions

  1. Pat the salmon fillet dry with paper towels to remove excess moisture.

  4. Place the salmon fillet skin-side down in the hot skillet and cook without moving for 4 to 5 minutes until the skin is crispy.
  5. Flip the salmon carefully using a spatula and cook the other side for 2 to 3 minutes until the salmon is cooked through.
  6. Remove the salmon from the skillet and place it on a serving plate.
  7. Sprinkle crumbled feta cheese evenly over the top of the salmon while it is still warm.
  8. Drizzle fresh lemon juice over the salmon and feta cheese.
  9. Sprinkle minced garlic and chopped fresh dill over the dish for added flavor.
  10. Serve immediately while the salmon skin is crispy and the feta slightly softened.
