Step 1
Pat the 2 salmon fillets dry and brush with 1 tbsp olive oil. Season both sides with salt and pepper.
Step 2
Heat a grill pan or skillet over medium-high. Place the salmon skin-side down and cook until the skin is crisp and the flesh turns opaque, about 6-8 minutes. Flip and cook 2-3 minutes more until just flaky.
Step 3
While the salmon cooks, mix 0.5 cup yogurt with 1 tbsp chopped dill and a pinch of salt. Set aside.
Step 4
Slice the orange into thin rounds. Cut one round into small wedges for garnish.
Step 5
Serve the salmon with a dollop of the yogurt sauce, orange slices, and sprinkle with the remaining 1 tbsp dill. Drizzle with the remaining 1 tbsp olive oil if desired.
