Ingredients

  • 1 pound salmon filet cut into four filets
  • 1/4 cup chopped shallots
  • 2 tbsp butter divided
  • 1 cup heavy whipping cream
  • 1/2 cup low sodium chicken broth
  • 1 tbsp Dijon mustard
  • 2 tbsp capers
  • 1 tbsp chopped dill
  • 1 tsp lemon zest
  • 2 tbsp lemon juice

Instructions

  • Melt some butter or add half the oil to the pan. Sautee the salmon for 2-3 minutes per side, or until it reaches 145-F. Set the salmon to the side.
  • Add the remaining butter or oil to the pan. Sautee the chopped shallots over medium-high heat for a few minutes until soft and translucent.
  • Add the chicken broth and simmer, reducing the chicken broth by about half.
  • Add the cream, Dijon mustard, capers, and dill to the skillet. Simmer gently for a few minutes, letting it thicken (by evaporation) a bit. Add the lemon juice and zest at the last minute.
  • Season with salt and pepper and serve over the salmon. Enjoy!
