Ingredients:
4 Teaspoons Minced Garlic
1 Teaspoon Dried herbes de Provence
1 Teaspoon Red Wine Vinegar
1 Teaspoon Olive Oil
2 Teaspoon Olive Oil
2 Tablespoons Dijon Mustard
4x 6oz Salmon Fillets
4 Lemon Wedges
Instructions:
In a small bowl, combine minced garlic, dried herbes de Provence, red wine vinegar, 1 teaspoon of olive oil, and Dijon mustard. Set the sauce mixture aside.
Heat the remaining 2 teaspoons of olive oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat.
Place the salmon fillets in the skillet and cook for approximately 5 minutes.
Carefully flip the fillets and cook for an additional 3 minutes. Spoon half of the garlic sauce onto the cooked side of each fillet.
Flip the fillets again, cooking for 1 more minute, and spread the remaining sauce on the other side of the fillets.
Flip the fillets one last time and cook for 1 minute until the salmon is cooked through and flakes easily.
Remove the fillets from the skillet and serve each one with a lemon wedge for a fresh burst of flavor.
Coach’s Note:
Enhance the recipe by adding a personal touch. Consider sprinkling fresh dill or parsley over the cooked salmon for added freshness, or try a pinch of smoked paprika or a dash of cayenne pepper in the garlic sauce for a hint of smokiness or spice. Cooking is an opportunity for creativity, so let your taste buds guide you and enjoy the delightful flavors you create.
