SALMON WITH LEMON DILL SAUCE

This simple salmon recipe is easy to prepare yet it's bursting with so much flavor. Fresh and tangy, the lemon dill sauce adds so much zing to the dish. Once cooked, the salmon is warm and flaky. After trying, you'll find yourself making this salmon again and again.

Provided by Giselle Gonzalez

Categories     Fish

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!

Tips:

  • Use fresh salmon: Fresh salmon has a milder flavor and a more delicate texture than frozen salmon. If using frozen salmon, thaw it completely before cooking.
  • Choose the right cooking method: Salmon can be cooked in a variety of ways, including baking, broiling, grilling, pan-frying, and poaching. The best cooking method depends on your personal preference and the type of salmon you are using.
  • Do not overcook the salmon: Salmon is a delicate fish that can easily be overcooked. Cook it just until it is opaque in the center and flakes easily with a fork.
  • Use fresh herbs and spices: Fresh herbs and spices can help to enhance the flavor of salmon. Some good choices include dill, lemon, garlic, thyme, and rosemary.
  • Serve salmon with a variety of sides: Salmon can be served with a variety of sides, including roasted vegetables, mashed potatoes, rice, and salad.

Conclusion:

Salmon is a delicious and healthy fish that can be cooked in a variety of ways. By following these tips, you can cook salmon perfectly every time. Whether you are baking, broiling, grilling, pan-frying, or poaching salmon, be sure to use fresh ingredients and not overcook the fish. Serve salmon with a variety of sides to create a well-balanced meal. Enjoy!
