How to make it

  1. 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.

  2. 2

    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.

  3. 3

    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.

  4. 4

    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.

  5. 5

    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!
