We have Salmon at least once a week and I'm always looking for new recipes to change it up. Today I basically sauteed the salmon in olive oil sprinkled with salt and pepper. I kept it simple because I made this decadent lemon dill sauce to drizzle over the salmon. This sauce is delicious, not only for salmon but I can't wait to try it on cod, chicken, and asparagus. I'm going to have to grow some dill! Thanks to Robyn at Add a Pinch for the recipe. Check out her blog, so many great recipes. |
Ingredients
- 2 cloves garlic minced
- 1/2 cup dry white wine or chicken stock (I used chicken broth)
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice (If using wine I would cut lemon juice to 1 tablespoon)
- 3 tablespoons chopped FRESH dill
- 1/2 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- 1/2 cup HEAVY cream
- 3 tablespoons butter, divided
- pinch cayenne pepper
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/8 teaspoon fresh ground black pepper
Instructions
- Add garlic, wine or chicken stock, lemon juice, and dill to a small saucepan over medium heat. Bring to a boil and boil for about 2 minutes. Reduce heat and whisk in mustard and heavy cream. Continue to cook on a slow boil until it reduced and thickens (about 10-15 minutes), making sure to whisk often. Turn heat to simmer and Whisk in butter pieces one at a time. Add cayenne pepper, salt, and pepper.
- Serve: drizzle on salmon, cod, chicken or asparagus.
