Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces salmon fillets
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon garlic powder
- 2 tablespoons prepared horseradish
- 0.5 cup sour cream
- 2 tablespoons mayonnaise
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 1 tablespoon fresh dill, chopped
- 1 tablespoon fresh chives, chopped
Instructions
Pat the salmon fillets dry with a paper towel and season both sides with salt, black pepper, and garlic powder.
In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium-high heat.
Once the oil is hot, place the salmon fillets skin-side down in the skillet. Cook for 4-5 minutes without moving to allow the skin to crisp up.
Carefully flip the fillets and cook the other side for an additional 3-4 minutes until the salmon is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork. Remove from heat and set aside.
In a small mixing bowl, combine prepared horseradish, sour cream, mayonnaise, lemon juice, fresh dill, and fresh chives. Mix well to create the creamy horseradish sauce.
Taste the sauce and adjust seasoning with additional salt or lemon juice if needed.
Serve the salmon fillets warm, topped with a generous dollop of creamy horseradish sauce.
