garlic

extra virgin olive oil

Slice off the tops of the green onions. In an immersion blender or small sauce blender, blend all ingredients until a smooth sauce forms, (if necessary, stop and mix the ingredients to allow them to fully blend).

To serve, drizzle the salmon with chimichurri: see our Baked Salmon Recipe for more.

A delicious, fail-proof dish that&#39;s ready in just 20 minutes. The salmon is seared until crispy on the outside and juicy in the middle, then smothered in a divine sauce enhanced with fresh dill for a fine dining touch. Serve it with buttered potatoes for a quick yet satisfying dinner.

Salmon in Creamy Dill Sauce

salmon

garlic powder

½ tsp sweet paprika

½ tsp black pepper (divided)

salt (divided)

olive oil

unsalted butter

onion

carrot

⅛ tsp ground turmeric

tbsp all-purpose flour

vegetable broth

heavy cream

dill (more for serving)

black pepper (for serving)

seasoning

Get your prep done before you start cooking: Pat the salmon fillets dry. Season both sides with garlic powder, sweet paprika, ¼ teaspoon salt and ¼ teaspoon black pepper.

chopping

Peel and grate the carrot. Dice the onion, mince the garlic cloves and chop the dill.

searing

Heat oil and butter over medium high in a large nonstick skillet. Add salmon fillets and sear 3 minutes per side. Remove from skillet onto a clean plate.

sautéing

Add carrot, garlic and onion. Sauté for 3 minutes. Add turmeric, and the remaining salt and black pepper.

simmering

Add flour and stir until incorporated. Add vegetable broth and simmer for 1 minute while stirring constantly.

stirring

Pour in cream, bring to a simmer. Add dill and lemon juice. Stir until combined. Taste and adjust salt. If the sauce thickens too much, add a splash of cream.

Return salmon to the skillet and simmer for 3 minutes. Finish off with dill and freshly ground black pepper. Enjoy!

Made this today and it is sooooo good!! I carmelized the onions for longer than the recipe called for because I really wanted to get them soft and translucent and golden, and then I added in the carrots and garlic. I served it with baby gold potatoes tossed in butter and garlic and the leftover dill, along with a Caesar salad and it was a 10/10.

Very complimentary for salmon and trout. Great drizzled over vegetables as well. Many may not know however that a brown onion is the same as a yellow onion. Commonly, stores have yellow onion bins, but not brown onion bins. My point is most people are more inclined to try a new reciepe knowing the ingredients are easily accessible. No sense making it complicated. The reciepe is very good and 
worth a try.

Served this at a dinner party and the results were nothing short of FANTASTIC!  I may eat this sauce on shoe sole!
