Ingredients

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

Recipe Instructions

Step 1

Season salmon with salt and pepper and sprinkle with some of the lemon juice.

Step 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.

Step 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.
