Salmon with Lemon Dill Cream Sauce
Salmon is one of my favorite fish, and my favorite way to prepare it is with lemon and dill. This time I've simply baked the salmon, and finished it with a lemon dill cream sauce. This dish is simple, quick, and completely satisfying!Ingredients:
4 salmon filets
2 Tbsp unsalted butter
2 Tbsp AP flour
Zest of one lemon
2 Tbps fresh dill
1 1/2 cups milk
1 clove garlic, minced
Salt and pepper to taste
Preheat your oven to 350*f
Place the salmon on a baking sheet, and place on the middle rack in your oven. Bake for 10-15 minutes, or until the fish has reached an internal temperature of 140*f.
While the salmon is baking, melt the butter in a small sauce pan over medium heat. Stir in the flour, and simmer until slightly darkened. Add in the milk, adjusting more or less, depending on how thick you want your sauce, and stir slowly until thickened. Stir in the garlic, dill, and lemon zest, reduce the heat to low, and simmer for 5-10 minutes, stirring often. To serve, simply place the filet on your plate, spoon some on the sauce over the fish, and top with a small sprig of dill. Creamy.. Flaky... And with just the right amount of tartness from the lemon zest! I hope you enjoy!
