Ingredients
  

4 salmon fillets (6 oz each)

Salt and black pepper (to taste)

2 tablespoons olive oil

1 cup heavy cream

2 tablespoons unsalted butter

1 tablespoon lemon zest (freshly grated)

1/4 cup freshly squeezed lemon juice

2 cloves garlic (minced)

1 teaspoon Dijon mustard

1 teaspoon fresh dill (chopped, plus extra for garnish)

Optional: lemon slices for garnish

Instructions
 

Prepare the Salmon: Pat the salmon fillets dry with paper towels and season both sides with salt and black pepper. Set aside.

    Cook the Salmon: Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the salmon fillets skin-side down. Cook for 4-5 minutes until the skin is crispy and golden. Carefully flip the fillets and cook for an additional 4-5 minutes until cooked through. Remove from the pan and set aside.

      Make the Lemon Cream Sauce: In the same skillet, reduce the heat to medium and add the butter. Once melted, add the minced garlic and sauté for about 30 seconds, until fragrant.

        Combine Sauces: Stir in the heavy cream, lemon zest, lemon juice, and Dijon mustard. Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer and allow it to Thicken, about 2-3 minutes. Stir in the chopped dill and season with salt and pepper to taste.

          Serve: Place the salmon fillets on plates and generously spoon the lemon cream sauce over the top. Garnish with additional dill and a slice of lemon, if desired.

            Enjoy: Serve with your choice of sides, like steamed asparagus or roasted potatoes, to complement the dish.
