Ingredients

Wild Alaskan Sockeye Salmon
2 tbsp Olive Oil
salt and pepper to taste

For the Creamy Dill Parmesan Sauce:

2 tbsp butter
3 cloves garlic, minced
½ tsp onion powder
1 tbsp all- purpose flour
⅓ cup vegetable broth
1 ½ cups heavy cream
½ cup grated Parmesan cheese
1 tbsp fresh dill, chopped

Directions

Instructions:
Cook the salmon:
Pat salmon fillets dry and season with salt and pepper.
Heat olive oil in a sturdy skillet over medium-high heat.
Lay the fillets in the pan, skin-side down first, and cook for 3–5 minutes per side until golden and cooked through. Remove and set aside.
Make the creamy dill sauce:
In the same skillet, melt butter over medium heat.
Add minced garlic and cook until fragrant, about 1 minute.
Sprinkle in onion powder and flour, stirring constantly to form a smooth roux. Cook 1–2 minutes to remove the raw flour taste.
Slowly whisk in vegetable broth, scraping up any browned bits and eliminating lumps.
Stir in heavy cream and chopped dill.
Simmer gently for 3–5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the sauce thickens to a creamy consistency.
Finish the sauce:
Stir in Parmesan cheese until fully melted and creamy.
Taste and adjust seasoning with salt and pepper.
Combine and serve:
Return the salmon fillets to the skillet, spooning the thickened dill Parmesan sauce over them.
Serve immediately with rice, pasta, or crusty bread for a cozy, country-style meal.
