3 tsp olive oil

Salt and freshly ground black pepper

3 garlic cloves, (minced, 1 Tbsp)

Vejledning

Heat a large non-stick skillets over medium-high heat (if needed you can use two skillets or cook in two batches so they aren't overcrowded).

Add 1 1/2 tsp olive oil to each skillet. Dab both sides of salmon dry with paper towels and season both sides with salt and pepper.

Place salmon in skillet (top of salmon turned down). Let sear until golden brown on bottom, about 4 minutes then flip and continue to cook to desired doneness, about 2 - 3 minutes longer.

Meanwhile, in a liquid measuring cup whisk together cornstarch with 1 tbsp cream, then mix in enough cream to measure 1/2 cup. Whisk in dijon mustard and honey.

Remove salmon from skillet and transfer to a plate, leaving oil in one skillet. Tent salmon with foil.

Add garlic to skillet with oil set over medium heat, saute until just barely golden brown, about 20 - 30 seconds. Pour in chicken broth.

Bring to a simmer then reduce heat to medium-low and let simmer until reduced by about 2/3, about 3 minutes.

Whisk cream mixture once more then pour into skillet. Cook and stir, bringing to a simmer. Let simmer gently, while stirring, for about 30 seconds.

Remove from heat stir in dill, return salmon fillets to pan, spoon sauce over salmon. Serve warm.
