Step 1
Start by seasoning the salmon with salt and pepper, then sprinkle some lemon juice over it. Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat and add the butter and oil, letting them melt together. Place the salmon in the pan and cook for about 3 minutes without moving it. Flip the fillets and cook for another 3 to 5 minutes, until they’re nearly cooked through. Pour the rest of the lemon juice into one side of the pan, then add the mustard and dill. Give everything a good stir to combine. Pour in the cream and gently tilt the pan so the sauce spreads around the salmon. Let it simmer for a few minutes until the sauce thickens up. Taste and add a little more salt if needed, then serve the salmon with the creamy dill sauce spooned over the top.
Why you’ll love it
This dish combines the rich flavor of salmon with a light, tangy sauce that brightens every bite. It’s quick to make and feels elegant enough for a special dinner or easy enough for a weeknight meal. The creamy dill sauce adds freshness without overpowering the fish.
How to serve
Serve with steamed vegetables or a simple green salad to keep the meal balanced and fresh. Roasted potatoes or a light rice pilaf also pair well, soaking up the creamy dill sauce perfectly.
Storage & leftovers
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to two days. Reheat gently in a low oven or microwave to avoid drying out the fish. The sauce can be stored separately to keep its texture fresh.
