Ingredients
4 skinless salmon fillets
1 Tbsp olive oil
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
1 Tbsp minced garlic
1 1/4 cups + 1 Tbsp low-sodium chicken broth
2 tsp cornstarch
1/3 cup heavy cream
2 Tbsp fresh lemon juice
1 Tbsp butter
1 Tbsp minced fresh dill
2 Tbsp capers
1 Tbsp minced fresh parsley
Directions
If you have time let salmon rest at room temperature 10 minutes. Heat a 12-inch heavy bottomed non-stick skillet over medium-high heat. Add olive oil. Dab salmon dry with paper towels. Season both sides lightly with salt and pepper. Place in skillet and sear until bottom is golden brown, about 4 minutes. Carefully flip then continue to cook until salmon is cooked through, about 2 - 3 minutes longer. Transfer salmon to a plate and cover with foil to keep warm, leave about 1 tsp oil in skillet. Add garlic and saute just until golden brown, about 20 seconds. Pour in 1 1/4 cups chicken broth and let simmer until broth is reduced by half, about 4 minutes. Meanwhile in a small bowl whisk together remaining 1 Tbsp broth with cornstarch. While whisking pour cornstarch mixture into reduced broth mixture. Cook and stir until thickened, about 1 minute. Stir in cream, butter, lemon and dill. Remove from heat, return salmon to skillet. Spoon sauce over salmon. Sprinkle with capers and parsley. Serve immediately.
