Steps:

• In a medium sized skillet heat the olive oil over medium low heat. Salt and pepper the salmon and add to the skillet skin sized down. Heat for about 5 minutes and flip with a spatula the salmon to the other side and cook for another 5 minutes until the salmon is brown and center is slightly pink. Remove salmon and set aside on a plate.
• Add the garlic to the pan and cook until tender. Add the heavy cream, chicken broth, and lemon juice. In a small bowl whisk together cornstarch and water. Add to the sauce. Let simmer for 3-4 minutes or until sauce has thickened.
• Add the salmon back to the skillet and heat through. Add fresh dill to the sauce and serve.

LEMON AND GARLIC BUTTER SAUCE

Steps:

• In a small saucepan, add a small drop of olive oil and the minced garlic (and shallots if using). Cook on a low heat until soft. Then add the white wine, increase the heat to medium and let it cook for about 4 minutes until reduced by approximately 1/3 .
• Remove the pan from the heat and add the butter, stir to combine, then add the cream. Return the pan to the heat and stir until it begins to bubble. Remove from heat and add the lemon juice and dill. Stir, taste the sauce and add salt and pepper to taste.

CREAMY DILL SALMON

Steps:

• Cut your salmon into 4 pieces. Sprinkle each piece with the garlic powder and season with salt & pepper. Coat each piece in flour on all sides.
• Add the olive oil and butter to a skillet over medium-high heat. When the pan is hot, add the fish. Cook the salmon for 3-4 minutes/side or until it's nicely browned. Don't overcook - the salmon shouldn't be cooked fully yet. Remove fish to a plate and set it aside.
• Add the chicken broth, lemon juice, and Dijon mustard to the skillet. Stir until mustard has been incorporated, and let it bubble for 1-2 minutes.
• Add the cream to the pan, along with the dill.
• Add in the salmon and let it cook for another 5 minutes or so until the sauce has thickened a bit and the fish has cooked through. Season with extra salt & pepper if needed. I like to serve it with fresh chopped parsley and a squeeze of lemon juice over the fish.

LEMON DILL SAUCE

Whisk in the butter a cube at a time, until all the butter is incorporated. Season with salt and pepper. Place the grilled vegetables on the platter. Lay the cakes directly on top of the vegetables. Drizzle the sauce over the cakes. Garnish with the sizzled leeks and Essence.
• Combine all ingredients thoroughly and store in an airtight jar or container.

ROASTED SALMON WITH LEMON, GARLIC, DILL AND CAPER BUTTER SAUCE

Steps:

• Allow salmon filet to rest at room temperature for 20 minutes. Pat gently with a paper towel..
• While the salmon rests, make the butter sauce
• Melt butter in a small saucepan over medium heat. Add garlic and sauté for 30 seconds. Add lemon juice, lemon zest and dried red pepper flakes and cook on medium heat for about 3 more minutes to reduce the sauce. Remove the saucepan from heat and add dill and capers. Season with salt and fresh ground black pepper.
• Place salmon, skin side down, on a large baking sheet. Season with salt and pepper.
• Spoon sauce evenly over the top of the fillet.
• Bake at 400° F or 200°C for 12-15 minutes depending on the thickness of salmon. Check for doneness with a thermometer, if cooking fillet through to done, aim for no more than 140°F as the salmon will continue to cook a little after removing it from the oven, or use a fork to gently pull back on a section in the thickest part of the filet. The salmon should flake away easily and look opaque.
• Serve on warmed plates.
