Ingredients:
- 4 salmon fillets, skin on
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
- For the Creamy Dill Sauce:
- 1/2 cup heavy cream
- 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
- 2 tablespoons fresh dill, chopped
- 1 garlic clove, minced
- Juice of 1/2 lemon
- Salt and pepper, to taste
Instructions:
- Season the salmon fillets with salt and pepper. Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the salmon fillets, skin-side down, and cook for 4-5 minutes until the skin is crispy. Flip the fillets and cook for an additional 3-4 minutes, or until the salmon is cooked to your desired doneness. Remove from the skillet and set aside.
- In the same skillet, reduce the heat to medium. Add the heavy cream, Dijon mustard, chopped dill, minced garlic, and lemon juice. Stir to combine and simmer for 2-3 minutes, or until the sauce thickens slightly. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
- Return the salmon fillets to the skillet, spooning the creamy dill sauce over them. Cook for another 1-2 minutes, allowing the salmon to soak up some of the sauce.
- Serve the salmon fillets with extra creamy dill sauce spooned on top. Garnish with additional fresh dill if desired.
