Ingredients:

  • 4 (6-ounce) fillets of Norwegian salmon (170g each)
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil (15ml)
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 4 tablespoons unsalted butter (56g)
  • 2 tablespoons fresh dill, chopped (30ml)
  • Zest and juice of 1 lemon
  • 1 tablespoon capers, drained (15g)

Instructions:

  1. Pat the salmon fillets dry with paper towels and season both sides with salt and pepper.
  2. Heat olive oil in the skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering.
  3. Place the salmon fillets skin-side down in the skillet and cook for 4-5 minutes, until skin is crispy and fish is cooked halfway up the sides. Flip the fillets and cook for an additional 3-4 minutes until done (internal temperature reaches 145°F/63°C).
  4. In a small bowl, combine butter, dill, lemon zest, lemon juice, and capers. Melt the butter mixture in the microwave or over low heat until just melted.
  5. Plate the salmon and drizzle the lemon-dill butter sauce over the top. Garnish with additional dill if desired.
