Ingredients
•
4 (4 ounce) fillets salmon
•
salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
•
1 1/2 tablespoons lemon juice, divided
•
1 tablespoon butter
•
1 tablespoon olive oil
•
1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
•
1 tablespoon chopped fresh dill
•
3/4 cup heavy whipping cream, or to taste
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.
