How do you know your salmon is done?

You can test the internal temperature of your salmon by placing a meat thermometer in the thickest part of the filet. Once the temperature reaches 145 degrees F, remove the salmon from the pan and let it rest for a few minutes to absorb the juices.

Instructions

How To Make Salmon with Creamy Dill Sauce

Using a paper towel, pat the salmon dry. Season with salt and pepper
Heat a skillet with olive oil over high heat until the oil is hot but not smoking.
Add the salmon to the pan skin side up. Let it cook for about 4 minutes, then flip. If the salmon sticks to the pan, it may not be ready to flip. Once it’s flipped, reduce the heat to medium and cook for 4-5 minutes or until the internal temperature of the salmon with a meat thermometer reaches 145 degrees. Once you remove the salmon from the oven, it will continue cooking.
Remove from heat and serve immediately. Top the salmon with a delicious dill sauce.

Notes

You can make the creamy dill sauce a few hours ahead of time and keep in the refrigerator before serving at the table.
I recommend doubling the creamy dill sauce recipe so guests can add extra.
You can also bake the salmon in the oven.
Garnish the finished plate with a few sprigs of dill.
