Ingredients

4 servings

4 salmon fillets (6 oz each), skin-on
1 tsp fine sea salt
½ tsp ground turmeric
¼ tsp ground ginger
2 tbsp olive oil, divided

For the pan sauce

4 garlic cloves, thinly sliced
⅓ cup chicken broth
3 tbsp fresh lemon juice (from about 1 large lemon)
1 tsp lemon zest
2 tbsp fresh thyme leaves
2 tbsp fresh parsley, finely chopped
1 tbsp fresh rosemary, finely chopped

For serving

lemon wedges, for serving (optional)

Instructions

1
Pat the salmon fillets dry with paper towels. In a small bowl, combine the salt, turmeric, and ginger, then rub the mixture evenly over all sides of each fillet.
2
Heat 1 tbsp of the olive oil in a 12-inch skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering. Place the salmon fillets skin-side up and sear undisturbed for 4 minutes, until the flesh is opaque about halfway up the sides and the underside is deep golden and releases cleanly from the pan.
