Lemon Dill Salmon

I LOVE salmon! This is a newly acquired taste, however. So, I'm in a phase where I want to try salmon cooked various ways. My most recent endeavour was to make a lemon dill butter and put that on my salmon. It was subtle yet delicious!

Sorry--no pictures.

Here is what you need:
  • 1/4 cup butter (I love butter)
  • 2 tsp dill seasoning
  • zest and juice from 1 small lemon, separated
  • salt and pepper to taste
  • 2 salmon fillets

Here is what you do:
  • Mix the butter and zest together in a small bowl; mix and refrigerate
  • Season fillets with salt and pepper then saute in butter
  • After the fillets have cooked for 1 minute, drizzle a little juice over them
  • After 2 more minutes, and if the fillet is easily removed from the pan, flip the fillets over to cook on the other side
  • Repeat the process on this side
  • Serve with your favorite vegetable side dish
  • Put a dollop of the lemon dill butter on the hot fillet

YUM!!! What are some of your favorite ways to prepare salmon?
