Ingredients
Scale
- 4 skinless salmon filets (about 6oz/170g each)
- Oil, melted butter or cooking spray, as needed
- 2 finely minced garlic cloves (or a pinch of garlic powder)
- 1/8 teaspoon plus 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/2 cup (125 ml) sour cream or creme fraiche
- 2 teaspoons chopped fresh dill weed
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1 1/2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
- 1 1/2 teaspoons lemon juice
Instructions
- Preheat the broiler (UK: grill).
- Put the salmon filets on a broiler pan (UK: grill pan) and grease lightly with oil, butter or cooking spray.
- Sprinkle with the garlic plus 1/8 teaspoon of the pepper.
- Broil for 6-8 minutes or until the salmon just starts to flake when tested with a fork.
- Meanwhile you can combine the rest of the black pepper with the sour cream and remaining ingredients.
- Serve the salmon filets with the sauce spooned over.
Notes
- Remember when fish flakes ‘easily’ it is likely overdone. When it is just beginning to flake, it’s perfect. It will keep ‘cooking’ once removed from the heat!
- The sauce is cold and the salmon is warm, so as soon as you spoon the sauce over the fish, serve it up!
