Main Dishes Recipe ⇝ Pan-Fried Salmon with Cream-Dill Sauce

Salmon tastes great pan fried, and combined with this delicious creamy sauce with mustard and dill, it turns into a gourmet meal - and it's ready in 20 minutes to boot! You can use fresh or frozen salmon.

Ingredients

• 4 (4 ounce) fillets salmon
• salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
• 1 ½ tablespoons lemon juice, divided
• 1 tablespoon butter
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
• 1 tablespoon chopped fresh dill
• ¾ cup heavy whipping cream, or to taste

Cooking Directions

1. Season salmon with salt and pepper and sprinkle with some of the lemon juice.
2. Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Melt butter and oil together in the hot skillet. Add salmon; pan-fry for 3 minutes. Flip and cook until salmon is almost cooked through, 3 to 5 minutes.
3. Sprinkle remaining lemon juice onto one side of the pan. Add mustard and dill and mix. Pour in cream, mix with a spoon, and tilt pan so sauce runs around the salmon fillets. Cook for a few minutes until sauce thickens. Season with salt. Serve salmon with sauce.
