Instructions
Creating Creamy Dill Salmon is straightforward if you follow these simple steps:
1. Prepare the Salmon: Rinse the salmon fillets under cold water and pat dry with paper towels. Season both sides with salt and pepper.
2. Heat the Oil: In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat.
3. Cook the Salmon: Place the salmon fillets skin-side down in the skillet. Cook for about 4-5 minutes or until the skin is crispy. Carefully flip the fillets and cook for an additional 4-5 minutes, until the salmon is cooked through. Remove the salmon from the skillet and set aside.
4. Make the Cream Sauce: In the same skillet, reduce the heat to low. Pour in the heavy cream, stirring to combine with the drippings from the salmon.
5. Add Seasonings: Stir in the chopped dill, lemon juice, garlic powder, and onion powder. Let the sauce simmer for about 2-3 minutes until slightly thickened. Season with additional salt and pepper, if desired.
6. Return Salmon to Skillet: Place the salmon fillets back into the skillet, spooning the creamy dill sauce over the top. Allow to heat through for 1-2 minutes.
7. Garnish: Remove from heat and garnish with additional fresh dill.
8. Serve: Transfer the salmon to a serving platter, spooning extra sauce over the top.
