How to make it

  1. 1

    First, pat your salmon fillets dry with a paper towel. Season them generously with salt and pepper on both sides.

  2. 2

    Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat with a tablespoon of olive oil. Once hot, carefully place the salmon fillets skin-side down if they have skin. Cook for 4 to 6 minutes per side, depending on thickness, until the salmon is flaky and cooked through. Remove the salmon from the skillet and set aside.

  3. 3

    In the same skillet, reduce the heat to medium. Add the minced garlic and cook for about 30 seconds until fragrant, being careful not to burn it.

  4. 4

    Pour in the heavy cream and bring it to a gentle simmer. Stir in the chopped fresh dill and the juice from half of the lemon. Let the sauce simmer for 2 to 3 minutes, allowing it to thicken slightly.

  5. 5

    Return the cooked salmon to the skillet, spooning the creamy dill sauce over each fillet. Garnish with a fresh lemon slice and serve immediately. Enjoy your delicious keto meal!
