Preparation time: 5 minutes, Cooking time: 15 minutes, Serves: 4
Ingredients 4 (6 oz, 175g) salmon fillets
Salt and pepper to taste
For the lemon and dill butter sauce
4 tsp butter
1/2 tsp English mustard
1/4 tsp salt
Black pepper to taste
3/4 cup fish or chicken broth
1 Tbsp fresh dill, finely chopped (substitute with 1/2 Tbsp dried dill)
1 egg yolk
1 Tbsp flour
1 Tbsp fresh lemon juice
Directions Preheat broiler.
Rinse the salmon fillets with water, pat dry on a paper towel, then lightly season them with salt and pepper to taste.
Place the salmon fillets on a lightly oiled pan and cook at about 4 inches from the heat for 3 to 4 minutes per side, turning only once. (Cooking time may vary depending on the thickness of the salmon fillets and the distance from the heat - the salmon is cooked when it flakes easily).
While the salmon is cooking, prepare the lemon butter sauce.
In a small cooking pot over medium high heat melt the butter. Add the flour, mustard, salt and pepper and stir well to combine. Start adding the broth, stirring constantly, until the sauce thickens. Cook for 2 minutes more, then stir in the dill.
Beat the egg yolk in a small bowl. Stir in 3 to 4 tablespoons from the lemon sauce, then pour the egg yolk mixture into the lemon butter sauce and whisk. Bring the sauce to a heat, whisking constantly but do not boil. Whisk in the lemon sauce, remove from heat and pour over the cooked salmon.
