A quick and healthy dish, this flavorful salmon is topped with a vibrant, fresh salsa for an easy weeknight meal.
How to make it
- 1
First, get your salmon fillets ready. Pat them really dry with a paper towel and season generously on both sides with a little salt and pepper.

Next, prepare your vibrant salsa. In a small bowl, gently combine the halved cherry tomatoes, the diced ripe avocado, the crumbled feta cheese, and your freshly chopped dill. Give it a gentle stir and season with a tiny pinch of salt and pepper.

Now for the cooking. Heat a nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. If your salmon isn't super fatty or your pan isn't very nonstick, you can add a tiny splash of olive oil to the pan. Remember, olive oil is just for cooking, not one of our five ingredients.

Once the pan is hot, carefully place the salmon fillets skin-side down in the skillet. Cook them for about 4 to 6 minutes, letting that skin get nice and crispy. Then, flip them over and cook for another 3 to 5 minutes, or until the salmon is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork.

Serve your perfectly pan-seared salmon immediately. Top each fillet with a generous spoonful of that fresh feta and avocado salsa. It really ties everything together. Enjoy your delicious low-carb meal!
