Ingredients
- 4 pieces of succulent salmon fillets, seasoned with a pinch of salt and a generous sprinkle of freshly ground black pepper. The dish is enhanced with a drizzle of 1 ½ tablespoons of zesty lemon juice, divided to infuse tanginess. Cooked to perfection with a harmonious blend of 1 tablespoon of rich butter and 1 tablespoon of smooth olive oil. Elevate the flavors with a dollop of Dijon mustard, a sprinkle of fresh dill, and a luxurious touch of ¾ cup of heavy whipping cream, or to your desired taste.
Step 1
Prepare the salmon by generously seasoning it with a dash of salt and pepper, then brighten it up with a sprinkle of fresh lemon juice.
Step 2
In a generously sized skillet set over medium-high heat, combine a dollop of butter with a drizzle of oil until sizzling. Gently lay the seasoned salmon in the pan and let it sizzle for about 3 minutes. Take a peek and when it's golden, flip it over to cook for another 3 to 5 minutes until it's almost done.
Step 3
Now, let's add some zest to the pan by squeezing the rest of the lemon juice onto one side. Sprinkle in some mustard and dill, and give it a gentle stir. Next, pour in a splash of cream and stir it around with a spoon, gently tilting the pan to let the sauce dance around the salmon. Allow it to simmer for a few minutes until it thickens to perfection. Adjust the seasoning with a pinch of salt if needed.
Step 4
Finally, plate up the salmon adorned with the luscious sauce and savor every flavorful bite.
Extra Tips & Suggestions
- 1. Keep your salmon fillets fresh by storing them in a sealed container in the refrigerator. Make sure to pat them dry with paper towels before storing to prevent excess moisture.
- 2. To maintain the freshness of the dill, store it in a jar with a little water at the bottom, just like a bouquet of flowers. This will keep the herb hydrated and vibrant for longer.
