  • 1 tsp zaatar

  • Peel the ginger and grate it until you have approx 1 tsp
  • Then, add oil to the pan and place over medium heat.
  • Add in lemon slices and let saute a minute or so and prep salmon fillets
  • Squeeze lemon juice over salmon
  • Sprinkle 1/ tsp zaatar and ½ tsp ginger and place in pan with seasoned side of salmon fillets facing down. Let cook for about 3-4 minutes or until a nice sear has formed.
