👨‍🍳 Instructions

Season salmon fillets with salt and pepper.

Melt 1 tablespoon butter in a skillet over medium-high heat and cook salmon, skin side-up, until golden brown, 5 to 7 minutes.

Turn salmon and continue cooking until skin side is slightly browned and fish flakes easily with a fork, about 5 minutes more.

Meanwhile, melt remaining 1 tablespoon butter in a saucepan.

Press garlic into the butter using a garlic press and cook for 1 minute.

Pour in cream and stir constantly for 2 minutes.

Add lemon juice and dill.

Be careful that the sauce doesn't break.

Serve sauce over salmon.
