Step 1
Pat the 2 fish fillets dry with paper towels and season both sides with the 0.5 tsp salt and 0.25 tsp black pepper.
Step 2
Heat the 2 tbsp olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering, about 2 minutes.
Step 3
Place the fillets in the skillet skin-side down if they have skin. Cook until the edges turn opaque and the bottom is golden, about 3-4 minutes.
Step 4
Flip the fillets and cook until the flesh flakes easily with a fork and is opaque throughout, about 2-3 minutes more.
Step 5
Remove from heat and squeeze the juice of the 1 lemon over the fish. Sprinkle with the 2 tbsp chopped fresh dill and serve immediately.
