Cooking
  1. Preheat a skillet over medium heat and add olive oil.

  3. Place the salmon, skin side down, in the skillet and cook for about 5 minutes on each side or until cooked through.
  4. In a small bowl, mix the sour cream, dill, lemon juice, salt, and pepper until well combined.
  5. Once the salmon is cooked, remove from heat and top with the creamy dill sauce.

Notes

Don’t overcook the salmon! Check for doneness; it should flake easily but not be dry. You can substitute the dill for fresh parsley or basil. The creamy dill sauce can be made ahead of time and stored in the fridge.
