Ingredients
- 4 salmon fillets (6 oz each)

- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1/4 cup unsalted butter
- 2 tablespoons fresh dill, chopped

Instructions
- Season the salmon fillets with salt and pepper on both sides.
- In a large skillet, heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil over medium-high heat.

- Serve immediately and enjoy!
