Pan Grilled Salmon With Lime And Dill

This recipe is a result of a pregnancy craving for salmon on a day when i didn't have much time to cook; serve with boiled potatoes or rice and a microwaved veggie for a quick, easy dinner. It turns out juicy and moist, although firm-- just the way i like it! The mayonnaise-coating method is a favorite of my dad's for grilling fish, and i like to pan-grill on cold days. I also love the tastes of lime and dill with salmon, so there you are!!

Steps

Rinse salmon and pat dry.
Remove any bones that are sticking out.
Rinse limes.
Put 3 / 4 cup mayonnaise in medium bowl.
Cut limes in half.
Ream juice of limes into bowl.
Mix with whisk or fork until smooth , taking care to remove any seeds that get in the bowl.
If necessary , add more mayonnaise until mixture is consistency of a smooth , fairly thin cream sauce with no lumps.
When mixture is smooth , add dill to taste.
Crumple between fingers before adding to release extra flavor.
Add salt to taste.
Mix until dill and salt are evenly distributed.
Add salmon to mayonnaise-lime mixture.
Prepare a nonstick frying pan: spray with non-stick cooking spray and place on stove over medium-high heat.
When pan is hot , carefully place salmon in pan.
With a pastry brush , brush additional mayonnaise-lime mixture over the top surface and sides of the salmon periodically.
When salmon is opaque about halfway through and lightly browned , brush salmon once more and flip.
Brush sides.
