Ingredients
– 4 salmon fillets (about 6 oz each)
– 1 tablespoon olive oil
– Salt and pepper, to taste

– 2 tablespoons fresh dill, chopped (or 1 tablespoon dried dill)
– 1 tablespoon lemon juice
– 2 cloves garlic, minced
– 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
– Lemon wedges, for serving
Instructions
Follow these straightforward steps to create the delicious Creamy Dill Salmon:
1. Prepare the Salmon: Pat the salmon fillets dry with a paper towel. Season both sides with salt and pepper.
2. Heat the Oil: In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat.
3. Cook the Salmon: Place the salmon fillets in the skillet, skin-side down. Cook for about 5-7 minutes until the skin is crispy and the fish is cooked halfway up.
4. Flip the Fillets: Carefully flip the salmon and cook for another 3-5 minutes until the salmon is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork. Remove the salmon from the skillet and set aside.
5. Prepare the Cream Sauce: In the same skillet, reduce the heat to medium. Add minced garlic and sauté for about 30 seconds until fragrant.
6. Add Cream: Pour in the heavy cream, stirring to combine. Allow it to simmer for 2-3 minutes until slightly thickened.
7. Stir in Dill and Lemon: Add fresh dill, lemon juice, and Dijon mustard to the cream sauce. Mix well and let it simmer for another minute.
8. Return Salmon to Skillet: Place the cooked salmon fillets back into the skillet, spooning the creamy sauce over them. Let them warm for an additional minute.
9. Serve: Remove from heat and transfer the salmon to a serving platter. Drizzle extra sauce over the top for added flavor.
