Ingredients
- 4 pieces salmon filets
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 3 cloves garlic cloves
- 1 cup coconut milk
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- 2 tablespoons fresh dill
- 1 tablespoon cornstarch
- 2 tablespoons water
Directions
Step 1
Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).
Step 2
Pat the salmon filets dry with paper towels. Season them with salt and pepper on both sides.
Step 3
In a large oven-proof skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat.
Step 4
Add the salmon filets to the skillet, skin-side up. Sear for about 4 minutes or until browned. Flip them over and sear the other side for another 3 minutes.
Step 5
Transfer the skillet with the salmon into the oven and bake for 5-7 minutes or until the salmon is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork.
Step 6
While the salmon is baking, mince the garlic cloves.
Step 7
In a medium-sized saucepan, heat a tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat.
Step 8
Add the minced garlic and sauté until fragrant, about 1 minute.
Step 9
Pour in the coconut milk, lemon juice, and Dijon mustard. Stir to combine.
Step 10
Chop the fresh dill and add it to the sauce.
Step 11
In a small bowl, mix the cornstarch with water to create a slurry. Add the slurry to the sauce, stirring constantly to thicken for about 2-3 minutes.
Step 12
Season the cream sauce with additional salt and pepper to taste.
Step 13
Remove the salmon from the oven and transfer to plates.
Step 14
Pour the dairy-free cream sauce over the salmon.
Step 15
Garnish with extra dill if desired and serve immediately.
