Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces salmon fillets
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 3 cloves garlic cloves, minced
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 0.5 cup parmesan cheese, grated
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 2 tablespoons fresh dill, chopped
- 2 tablespoons butter
Instructions
Pat the salmon fillets dry with paper towels and season both sides with salt and black pepper.
In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. Once hot, place the salmon fillets skin-side down and cook for about 4-5 minutes until the skin is crispy.
Carefully flip the fillets and cook for another 3-4 minutes or until the salmon is cooked to your desired doneness. Remove the salmon from the skillet and set aside.
In the same skillet, reduce the heat to medium and add the butter. Once melted, add the minced garlic and sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant.
Pour in the heavy cream and bring to a simmer, stirring occasionally.
Stir in the grated parmesan cheese until melted and well combined, resulting in a creamy sauce.
Add the lemon juice and fresh dill to the sauce, stirring to incorporate all the flavors.
Return the cooked salmon fillets to the skillet, spooning the cream sauce over the top. Let it warm through for about 1-2 minutes.
Serve the salmon fillets hot, garnished with additional dill if desired. Enjoy your Keto Salmon with Cream Sauce!
