Ingredients

  • 4 (4 ounce) fillets salmon

  • salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste

  • 1 ½ tablespoons lemon juice, divided

  • 1 tablespoon butter

  • 1 tablespoon olive oil

  • 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard

  • 1 tablespoon chopped fresh dill

  • ¾ cup heavy whipping cream, or to taste

Directions

  1. Season salmon with salt and pepper and sprinkle with some of the lemon juice.

  2. Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Melt butter and oil together in the hot skillet. Add salmon; pan-fry for 3 minutes. Flip and cook until salmon is almost cooked through, 3 to 5 minutes.

  3. Sprinkle remaining lemon juice onto one side of the pan. Add mustard and dill and mix. Pour in cream, mix with a spoon, and tilt pan so sauce runs around the salmon fillets. Cook for a few minutes until sauce thickens. Season with salt. Serve salmon with sauce.

Cook's Note:

If you're using frozen salmon, make sure to fully thaw it before cooking.
