Creating Creamy Dill Salmon is a straightforward process. Follow these steps to achieve a delicious result:
1. Preheat the Skillet: Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
2. Season the Salmon: Pat the salmon fillets dry with paper towels. Season both sides with salt and pepper.
3. Cook the Salmon: Place the salmon fillets in the skillet, skin-side down. Cook for about 4-5 minutes until the salmon is golden brown. Flip and cook for an additional 3-4 minutes until cooked through. Remove the salmon from the skillet and set aside.
4. Prepare the Creamy Sauce: In the same skillet, reduce the heat to low. Add minced garlic and sauté for about 30 seconds until fragrant.
5. Add Cream and Seasonings: Pour in the heavy cream, stirring to combine. Add the dill, lemon juice, Dijon mustard, salt, and pepper. Stir well and let the sauce simmer for 2-3 minutes until slightly thickened.
6. Return Salmon to Skillet: Place the cooked salmon fillets back into the skillet, spooning the creamy sauce over them. Cook for an additional minute to heat through.
7. Garnish: Remove from heat and garnish with fresh dill and lemon slices before serving.
