Why This Dish Is So Special

Step 1
Season the salmon with salt and pepper, then drizzle some of the lemon juice over it. Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat, and melt the butter and oil together until shimmering. Place the salmon in the pan and let it cook undisturbed for about 3 minutes. Flip the fillets and cook for another 3 to 5 minutes, until they’re almost done.
Step 2
Squeeze the rest of the lemon juice into one side of the pan, then add the mustard and dill. Give it a good stir to combine everything. Pour in the cream and gently mix it in, tilting the pan so the sauce spreads around the salmon. Let it simmer for a few minutes until the sauce thickens up nicely. Taste and add a bit more salt if needed, then serve the salmon topped with that creamy dill sauce.
Serving Ideas To Try
Serve this dish with steamed vegetables or a light salad to keep the meal balanced. Roasted potatoes or rice also pair well, soaking up any extra sauce. A squeeze of lemon over the top adds a fresh finish.
How To Refrigerate This Dish
Store leftover sauce separately in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. Keep cooked salmon refrigerated and eat within 2 days for the best taste and safety. Reheat gently to avoid drying out the fish.
