Ingredients
- 4 pieces (6 oz each) salmon fillets
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoons black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoons garlic powder
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 0.5 cup heavy cream
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon lemon zest
- 2 tablespoons (chopped) fresh dill
- 2 cloves (minced) garlic
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or aluminum foil.
Step 2
Rub the salmon fillets with 2 tablespoons of olive oil, then season with salt, black pepper, and garlic powder. Place the seasoned salmon fillets skin-side down on the prepared baking sheet.
Step 3
Bake the salmon in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until it is opaque and flakes easily with a fork. While the salmon is baking, prepare the creamy lemon sauce.
Step 4
In a small saucepan, melt 2 tablespoons of butter over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté for 1-2 minutes, or until fragrant.
Step 5
Stir in the heavy cream, lemon juice, and lemon zest. Lower the heat and let the sauce simmer for 3-4 minutes, stirring frequently, until slightly thickened.
Step 6
Add the chopped fresh dill to the sauce and stir well. Taste the sauce and adjust with additional salt or lemon juice if needed.
Step 7
Once the salmon is done baking, transfer the fillets to individual plates or a serving platter. Spoon the creamy lemon sauce over the salmon fillets, ensuring each piece is generously coated.
Step 8
Serve immediately with low-carb sides such as steamed asparagus, cauliflower rice, or a fresh green salad.
