Instructions

  1. Step 1: Pat dry 4 Irish salmon fillets and season each with 1 tsp salt and 1/2 tsp black pepper evenly on both sides.
  2. Step 2: Heat 2 tbsp olive oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering. Place salmon fillets skin-side down and cook for 5-6 minutes until skin is crisp and edges opaque.
  3. Step 3: Carefully flip the salmon and cook for 2-3 minutes more until just cooked through. Remove salmon to a warm plate.
  4. Step 4: Reduce heat to medium-low and add 4 tbsp unsalted butter, 1 minced garlic clove, and 1/4 cup white wine to the skillet. Stir and let simmer for 2 minutes until butter melts and sauce reduces slightly.
  5. Step 5: Remove from heat and stir in 2 tbsp chopped fresh dill and 1 tbsp lemon juice until fragrant.
  6. Step 6: Spoon the dill-butter sauce over the salmon fillets and serve immediately with your choice of sides.
