Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces Salmon fillets
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 2 tablespoons Lemon juice
- 2 units Garlic cloves, minced
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 medium Onion, finely chopped
- 0.5 cup Unsalted chicken broth
- 0.75 cup Heavy cream
- 2 tablespoons Fresh dill, chopped
- 1 teaspoon Lemon zest
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a small bowl, mix the olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, and black pepper.
Place the salmon fillets on the prepared baking sheet and brush with the olive oil mixture.
Bake the salmon in the preheated oven for about 12-15 minutes, or until the fillets are cooked through and flake easily with a fork.
While the salmon is baking, heat a tablespoon of olive oil in a skillet over medium heat.
Add the chopped onion to the skillet and sauté until translucent, about 3-4 minutes.
Pour in the unsalted chicken broth and simmer until it reduces slightly, about 2 minutes.
Stir in the heavy cream and freshly chopped dill, simmering for another 3 minutes until the sauce thickens.
Add the lemon zest to the sauce and stir well, then remove from heat.
Once the salmon is ready, serve it with a generous spoonful of the cream sauce drizzled over the top.
