Ingredients

The following ingredients have 4 Servings
  • 4 boneless salmon fillets
  • 3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
  • Salt and pepper
  • 1/3 cup mayonnaise
  • 1/3 cup sour cream
  • 1 tablespoon minced fresh dill
  • 2 teaspoons prepared or grated horseradish
  • 1 teaspoon fresh lemon juice
  • 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
  • Salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
  • Fresh dill sprigs for garnish

Instruction

  • Preheat oven to 450 degrees F. Season fillets on both sides with salt and pepper.
  • In a skillet, heat olive oil over medium high heat till hot (not brown or smoking). Add the fillets to the skillet—if your fillets are skin-on, place the fillets skin side up, meat side down.
  • Sear them on one side for 2-3 minutes till a golden brown crust forms on the meat.
  • Without flipping the salmon, transfer the skillet to the oven and let it cook for 7-10 more minutes to desired doneness. Thick fillets will take longer.
  • While salmon is cooking, mix sauce ingredients in a small mixing bowl till well blended. Season with salt and black pepper to taste.
  • Remove salmon from the oven. Use an oven mitt, that skillet handle will be HOT!
  • Serve cooked salmon fillets topped with sauce and garnished with a sprig of fresh dill.
