For the Salmon:
- 4 (about 5-ounces each ) single-serving salmon fillets, skin on and about 1 ½" at the thickest part
- 1-2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 ½ teaspoon Kosher salt
- ½ teaspoon black pepper
- Zest of a lemon
- 4 tablespoons cold, unsalted butter cut into thin, small pieces
For the Dill Sauce:
- ¼ cup sour cream
- 2 tablespoons mayonnaise
- 2 tablespoons heavy whipping cream
- Juice of ½ a lemon
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- Generous ¼ teaspoon Kosher salt
- Generous pinch black pepper
- 1 tablespoon minced shallot
- 1 clove of garlic, minced
- 1 ½ teaspoon chopped, fresh dill
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 425°F and prepare a rimmed baking sheet lined with nonstick aluminum foil.
- Pat the salmon dry with a paper towel and place it on the baking sheet. Drizzle the salmon with the oil and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Grate the lemon zest over the salmon and rub the zest and seasoning over the salmon until evenly adhered. Scatter butter pieces evenly across the top of each fillet.
- Bake for 9-13 minutes, or until the salmon is cooked to your liking.
- While the salmon is baking, prepare the dill sauce by combining all of the ingredients in a small bowl and stirring until combined.
- Remove the salmon from the oven and discard the skin once cool enough to hand, if desired.
- Serve each fillet with a generous spoonful of dill sauce on top, and enjoy!
