Method
Preparation
- Heat a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat, adding a splash of olive oil. You'll know it's ready when it shimmers slightly.
- Pat the salmon fillets dry with a paper towel to help achieve a nice sear.
- In a small bowl, combine the Dijon mustard and honey. Coat the top of each fillet generously with this mixture.
Cooking
- Once the pan is hot, lay the fish in skin-side down if it has skin. You should hear a satisfying sizzle.
- Cook for about 4-5 minutes on one side to create a beautiful crust.
- Flip the fillets carefully, season with garlic powder, paprika, salt, and pepper, and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes until the salmon is opaque and flakes easily with a fork.
Serving
- Remove the salmon from the heat and let it rest for a minute. Serve with fresh lemon wedges and a sprinkle of herbs.

Notes
For variations, consider adding cayenne pepper for spice or using marinated tofu or tempeh for a vegan option. Use a pre-made marinade for quicker preparation.
