PAN SEARED SALMON WITH A CREAMY LEMON DILL SAUCE

Pan Seared Salmon with a Creamy Lemon Dill Sauce is perfectly crispy and flaky salmon that is in the most amazing creamy lemon dill sauce.

HOW DO YOU SEAR SALMON?

Start by adding a Tablespoon of olive oil to the skillet.  Heat to medium-low heat.  Salt and pepper the salmon and place skin side down for 5 minutes.  Flip to the other side and continue to cook the other side for 5 minutes.  Cook the salmon until brown and flaky.

As soon as this salmon is nice and crispy brown you create the most amazing creamy lemon dill sauce.  Salmon and a creamy dill sauce go so AMAZING together!   The sauce is so easy to make but is creamy and delicious with a slight lemon tang.  This meal is so good that I am already craving it again.

INGREDIENTS:

• 1 Tablespoon Olive Oil
• salt and pepper
• 3 cloves garlic
• 4 (6 oz) salmon fillets
• 1 cup heavy cream
• Juice of one lemon
• ½ cup chicken broth
• 1 Tablespoon water
• 1 teaspoon cornstarch
• 1 Tablespoon fresh dill, chopped

INSTRUCTIONS:

1. In a medium sized skillet heat the olive oil over medium low heat. Salt and pepper the salmon and add to the skillet skin sized down. Heat for about 5 minutes and flip the salmon to the other side and cook for another 5 minutes until the salmon is brown and center is slightly pink. Remove salmon and set aside on a plate.
2. Add the garlic to the pan and cook until tender. Add the heavy cream, chicken broth, and lemon juice. In a small bowl whisk together cornstarch and water. Add to the sauce. Let simmer for 3-4 minutes or until sauce has thickened.
3. Add the salmon back to the skillet and heat through. Add fresh dill to the sauce and serve.
