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
Directions
Step 1
Pat the salmon fillets dry with paper towels and season both sides with salt and black pepper.
Step 2
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.
Step 3
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.
Step 4
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.
Step 5
Pour in the heavy cream and bring to a simmer, stirring occasionally.
Step 6
Stir in the grated parmesan cheese until melted and well combined, resulting in a creamy sauce.
Step 7
Add the lemon juice and fresh dill to the sauce, stirring to incorporate all the flavors.
Step 8
Return the cooked salmon fillets to the skillet, spooning the cream sauce over the top. Let it warm through for about 1-2 minutes.
Step 9
Serve the salmon fillets hot, garnished with additional dill if desired. Enjoy your Keto Salmon with Cream Sauce!
