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:

  1. 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.

  2. Heat the remaining 2 teaspoons of olive oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat.

  3. Place the salmon fillets in the skillet and cook for approximately 5 minutes.

  4. Carefully flip the fillets and cook for an additional 3 minutes. Spoon half of the garlic sauce onto the cooked side of each fillet.

  5. Flip the fillets again, cooking for 1 more minute, and spread the remaining sauce on the other side of the fillets.

  6. Flip the fillets one last time and cook for 1 minute until the salmon is cooked through and flakes easily.

  7. 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.
