Time 20m

Number Of Ingredients 6

1 wild caught salmon fillet or whole salmon 2 lbs.
2 lemons
1/2 Tbsp fresh dill
2 Tbsp extra virgin olive oil
4 Tbsp fresh unsalted butter
salt and pepper, to taste

Steps:

  • 1. Season the salmon with salt and pepper. Add the olive oil to your pan. I love using cast iron for this dish. It can go from stove top to oven. Bring it up to heat.
  • 2. When the pan is heated lay the fish skin side down. The salt and pepper will create the crispiness on the skin. When you see the flesh becoming opaque and you see the skin curling on the sides it's time to turn it.
  • 3. Cook other side to your liking. Remember if you like your salmon medium rare, remove when the middle is just about warmed through the residual heat will cook it to perfection.
  • 4. Add the butter, the juice of the one lemon, and minced the dill. Heat it through then spoon over the fish. Thinly slice the remaining lemon. You can lay on the side this gives it a wonderful aroma. This can be served with some creamy warm Colcannon. Enjoy!

I'm a vegetarian, so I made this recipe with tofu instead of salmon. It was delicious!

I'm allergic to fish, so I made this recipe with chicken instead. It was still delicious!

The sauce was a little too thick for my taste. I would recommend thinning it out with a little bit of water or broth.

I found that the salmon was a little overcooked for my taste. I would recommend cooking it for a shorter amount of time.

I'm not a huge fan of dill, so I omitted it from the sauce. The salmon was still delicious, but I think the dill would have added a nice flavor.

This salmon dish is a keeper! The lemon-dill sauce is light and flavorful, and it pairs perfectly with the flaky salmon. I served it with roasted vegetables and mashed potatoes, and it was a hit with the whole family.
