Salmon Paprika

This one may look fancy, but it was really quite simple.  The recipe calls for:

fresh salmon
baby lettuce
olive oil
paprika
dill
salt
pepper

I usually only get salmon when it's on sale and in-season, which makes this dish qualify for my quick and cheap gluten-free meals round-up.  I found some good-looking steelhead salmon today for $4.99/lb - a very good deal!

Salmon Paprika

Heat a cast-iron or other heavy skillet on medium-high.  Rinse and pat dry:

1/4 to 1/2 pound fresh salmon fillets per person

rub with:

olive oil

Sprinkle the top side of the salmon with:

paprika
salt
pepper
dill

Place the salmon in the heated skillet, skin-side down.  Cook for 2-4 minutes, depending on thickness.  The salmon should look like this:

Turn on the broiler and place the skillet on the top shelf of the oven.  Broil the top of the salmon until the dill is slightly crispy, another 2-4 minutes.  The inside should not be cooked thoroughly; the fish will cook a little more after you take it out of the oven.  Serve over a bed of baby greens dressed in salt and olive oil.
Enjoy!

This looks great. I love a quick and easy meal. I'm anxious to try the cast-iron cooking method.
Yum.

I always seem to sweeten up my salmon, so a savory salmon dish looks very appealing.

Salmon anything looks fancy, in my opinion! (of course, at our house, if it's not chicken, it must be fancy! LOL) Sounds tasty!
