Instructions

  1. Step 1: Pat 2 salmon fillets dry and season both sides with 1 tsp kosher salt and 1/2 tsp black pepper.
  2. Step 2: Heat 1 tbsp olive oil in a nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Place salmon skin-side down and cook for 5-6 minutes until skin is crisp and edges start to brown, then flip and cook for 2 more minutes. Remove salmon and keep warm.
  3. Step 3: In a small saucepan over medium heat, combine 1/4 cup dry white wine, 1 small finely minced shallot, and 2 tbsp fresh lemon juice. Simmer until reduced to about 2 tbsp liquid.
  4. Step 4: Reduce heat to low and whisk in 6 tbsp cold cubed unsalted butter a few pieces at a time until sauce is smooth and emulsified. Remove from heat and stir in 1 tbsp chopped fresh dill.
  5. Step 5: Spoon lemon-dill beurre blanc over salmon fillets and serve immediately.
