Preparation

Step 1

1. Prepare all the ingredients and have ready.

2. Preheat a non-stick 12-inch skillet on medium high heat for about 2 minutes. Rub salmon with 1 T lemon juice and season with a little salt and white pepper. When pan has gotten hot place salmon skinned side up in the hot pan, and cook for about 2-3 minutes. (You do not need oil or liquid for this) Turn and cook for another 2-3 minutes on the other side. Remove salmon from pan, and place on a plate.

3. Wipe hot pan quickly with paper towel and return to burner. This removes excess oil and burnt particles from the pan while retaining the flavor left in the pan to enhance your sauce.

4. Add garlic and stir for half a minute. Add mustard, and whisk in 2 T lemon juice, broth, honey, salt and pepper. Cook on high heat for a minute to reduce slightly and add dill. Pour over salmon and serve.
