Ingredients
  

Main
  • 2 fillets Salmon (about 6oz each)
  • 1 tbsp Olive oil
  • 1 tbsp Unsalted butter
  • 3 cloves Garlic, minced
  • 1/2 cup Heavy whipping cream
  • 1/4 cup Chicken broth or vegetable broth
  • 2 tbsp Fresh lemon juice
  • 2 tbsp Fresh dill, finely chopped
  • 1/2 tsp Salt
  • 1/4 tsp Black pepper

Method
 

Main
  1. Season the salmon fillets on both sides with salt and pepper.
  2. Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Place the salmon flesh-side down and sear for 4-5 minutes until a golden crust forms.
  3. Flip the salmon and cook for another 3-4 minutes until cooked through. Remove the salmon to a plate.
  4. In the same skillet, reduce the heat to medium-low. Add the butter and minced garlic, sautéing for 1 minute until fragrant.
  5. Pour in the chicken broth to deglaze the pan, scraping up any browned bits.
  6. Stir in the heavy cream and let it simmer gently for 2-3 minutes until the sauce slightly thickens.
  7. Remove the skillet from the heat. Whisk in the fresh lemon juice and chopped dill.
  8. Return the salmon to the pan, spoon the creamy lemon dill sauce over the top, and serve immediately!
