Ingredients
Scale
- 4 (6 oz) salmon fillets
- Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper

- 1 tablespoon all-purpose flour
- 1 1/4 cups heavy cream
- Juice and zest of 1 lemon
- 2 tablespoons chopped fresh dill
Instructions
- Pat the salmon fillets dry and season them generously with salt and pepper.
- Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Sear the salmon skin-side up for about 5 minutes until golden brown, then flip and cook for another 5 minutes skin-side down until crispy.
- Remove the salmon from the skillet. In the same skillet, melt butter, sauté garlic for 30 seconds, then stir in flour to form a roux.

- Return the salmon to the skillet and spoon sauce over it, simmering gently for 2 minutes to warm through.
