2 tablespoons ranch seasoning mix recipe above
1/2 cup plain nonfat Greek yogurt
2 tablespoons mayo find a brand that uses all-natural ingredients in a the health food section of your grocery store or use an additional 2 tablespoons Greek yogurt
salt to taste

Combine all seasoning mix ingredients in a small jar or bowl. Stir together or shake closed jar to fully combine.
Rub salmon (flesh side only) with about ½ tablespoon extra virgin olive oil and then 1 tablespoon seasoning mix (don't forget to rub down the sides of the salmon).
In a nonstick pan, add about ½ tablespoon extra virgin olive oil and heat to medium-high. Once pan is hot, add the salmon, flesh side down and cook for 3 minutes with lid on the pan. Flip the salmon and cook fish all the way through (uncovered), about 5 more minutes. (This timing was perfect- you don't want overcooked salmon and it will continue to cook a bit even after removed from heat.)* Set aside.
While salmon is cooking, stir together all ranch sauce ingredients in a small bowl.
For the complete meal (pictured), preheat oven for waffle fries before mixing together seasoning mix. While you're prepping the salmon, sauce and a light salad, fries can be cooking. Everything will come together in less than 30 minutes.

*If your salmon fillets are extra thick, you may want to cook them a minute or two longer.
