Ingredients

The following ingredients have 4 Servings
  • 1-1.25 lbs. salmon (skin on, thick center cut preferable, cut into 4 portions)
  • 3-4 sprigs fresh dill (plus more for garnish)
  • kosher salt (to taste (about 1 tablespoon))
  • 2 thick slices red onion
  • 4 tablespoons salted butter (see notes)
  • 1 tablespoon chopped fresh chives

Instruction

  • In a large skillet with a lid, place the salmon pieces skin side down with the onion, dill sprigs, and about a tablespoon of salt. Cover everything with cold water.
  • Place on your stovetop and turn on the heat to medium-high. Bring to a boil, then turn the heat down and simmer covered for 10-12 minutes, or until salmon flakes apart easily with a fork. Make sure it stays submerged in the water- add more if you need to.
  • Meanwhile, melt the salted butter (4 tablespoons) and the chives (1 tablespoon) together (I microwaved it for about 20 seconds).
  • Carefully remove the salmon from the skillet (I used a fish spatula to do this) and serve drizzled with the chive butter and garnished with extra fresh dill.
