Provided by Natasha Bull

Categories     Main Course

Time 30m

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 pound fresh salmon (cut into 4 pieces)
1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
Salt & pepper (to taste)
Flour (for dredging)
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 tablespoon butter
1/2 cup chicken broth or dry white wine
1 teaspoon lemon juice
1/2 teaspoon Dijon mustard
1 cup heavy/whipping cream
1 tablespoon fresh dill (chopped finely)

Steps:

  • Cut your salmon into 4 pieces. Sprinkle each piece with the garlic powder and season with salt & pepper. Coat each piece in flour on all sides.
  • Add the olive oil and butter to a skillet over medium-high heat. When the pan is hot, add the fish. Cook the salmon for 3-4 minutes/side or until it's nicely browned. Don't overcook - the salmon shouldn't be cooked fully yet. Remove fish to a plate and set it aside.
  • Add the chicken broth, lemon juice, and Dijon mustard to the skillet. Stir until mustard has been incorporated, and let it bubble for 1-2 minutes.
  • Add the cream to the pan, along with the dill.
  • Add in the salmon and let it cook for another 5 minutes or so until the sauce has thickened a bit and the fish has cooked through. Season with extra salt & pepper if needed. I like to serve it with fresh chopped parsley and a squeeze of lemon juice over the fish.

I served this with spaghetti. I tossed the hot, drained noodles with enough of the sauce to coat, plated the spaghetti, topped with the salmon and dressed the salmon with another dollop of the sauce, and garnished with a few more capers.

2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
4 salmon fillets, pin bones removed
Salt and pepper, to taste
1 pint sour cream
2 bunches dill, chopped
Juice of 2 lemons
1 shallot, minced
Pinch red pepper flakes
3 tablespoons horseradish

  • In a small bowl whisk together sour cream, dill, lemon juice, shallot, red pepper flakes and horseradish. Season with salt and pepper. Serve the sauce over the pan-seared salmon.

  • Use fresh herbs. Fresh dill is the key ingredient in this recipe, so be sure to use fresh herbs for the best flavor.
