Instructions

Creating the amazing Smoked Paprika And Green Olive Salmon involves the following simple steps:

  1. Prepare the Marinade: In a small bowl, mix the olive oil, smoked paprika, minced garlic, lemon juice, and zest. Stir to combine.
  1. Marinate the Salmon: Place the salmon fillets in a shallow dish. Pour the marinade over the fillets, ensuring every piece is well-coated. Season with salt and pepper. Let marinate for approximately 10 minutes.
  1. Preheat Your Pan: Heat a large non-stick skillet or grill pan over medium-high heat. Add a little olive oil if needed.
  1. Cook the Salmon: Once the pan is hot, add the marinated salmon fillets skin-side down. Cook for about 4-5 minutes for medium doneness, depending on the thickness of the fillets.
  1. Add Olives: After flipping the salmon, scatter the sliced green olives around the fillets, letting them warm through as the salmon continues to cook for an additional 3-4 minutes.
  1. Check Doneness: Ensure the salmon is cooked to your preference. It should easily flake with a fork but remain moist.
  1. Serve: Once cooked, transfer the salmon to a serving plate.
  1. Garnish: Sprinkle with fresh parsley before serving for a burst of color and flavor.

By following these steps, you will create an incredibly flavorful dish that will leave everyone wanting more.
