👨‍🍳 Instructions

Season salmon with salt and pepper and sprinkle with some of the lemon juice.

Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat.

Melt butter and oil together in the hot skillet.

Add salmon; pan-fry for 3 minutes.

Flip and cook until salmon is almost cooked through, 3 to 5 minutes.

Sprinkle remaining lemon juice onto one side of the pan.

Add mustard and dill and mix.

Pour in cream, mix with a spoon, and tilt pan so sauce runs around the salmon fillets.

Cook for a few minutes until sauce thickens.

Season with salt.

Serve salmon with sauce.
