Scale the salmon by turning it sideways and holding the knife at a 45-degree angle.

Score the fish by cutting small lines into the meat about halfway through.

Season the fish on both sides with a mix of salt, pepper, garlic, and dill weed, ensuring to get it into the cuts.

Heat a nonstick pan on medium heat and add oil.

Place the fish skin side down in the pan and press it down for full contact.

Cook the fish for about 4 to 5 minutes, watching for the white part to rise up the sides.

When the white part is just below the top, flip the fish.

In the same pan, add baby carrots seasoned with garlic salt and pepper and roast them as a side.

Plate the salmon with the roasted carrots, garnish with parsley, and add a lemon wedge.
