Ingredients
- Lemon Butter Sauce:
- Cooking spray
- 1 large salmon fillet
- Extra virgin olive oil
- Salt and pepper
- Juice of 1 lemon
- 1 clove garlic, minced
- 1 shallot, minced
- 1/4 cup dry white wine
- 3 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
- 1 cup cold unsalted butter, cut into 1-inch pieces

Preparation
Step 1
Heat oven to 400 degrees F. Coat a baking dish with cooking oil spray. Rub the salmon fillet with oil; then season with salt and pepper. Arrange in prepared baking dish, skin side down. Pour lemon juice over the salmon.
Roast, uncovered, for 18 to 20 minutes or until fish flakes easily with a fork. Cooking time will vary depending on the thickness of the fish.
Lemon Butter Sauce:
Place the garlic, shallots, white wine and lemon juice into a saucepan and simmer over medium-high heat until reduced by half, about 3 minutes. Turn heat to low.
Slowly whisk in cold butter, one piece at a time. Whisk constantly for a smooth consistency. Add salt to taste. Strain sauce to remove solids. Taste and add more lemon juice or salt, if desired.
Pour lemon butter sauce over salmon. Garnish with lemon zest and dill.
