Simply seasoned with salt and crushed black pepper, these pan seared salmon fillets are perfectly paired with dill flavoured sour cream, which naturally and wonderfully marries the rich flavour of salmon, and a side salad (together with a couple slices of German black bread) for a fairly delicious and delightful lunch.
- 2 Salmon fillets
- 1/2 tbsp Fresh lemon juice
- Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
- 1 tbsp Olive oil
- 2-3 tbsp Sour cream
- 1/2 tsp Garlic, minced
- 1/2 tsp Dill, chopped
- 1/2 tsp Lemon juice
- Place the salmon fillets in a shallow bowl. Toss well with lemon juice, salt and pepper. Let rest for 15 minutes. Combine the sour cream, minced garlic, dill and lemon juice in a bowl. Cover and store in the fridge until ready to serve.
- Add the olive oil in a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat, sear the salmon on both sides, about 3-5 minutes for each side. Serve with the prepared sauce and some mixed salad.

If there is a fish you ask me to choose that I will eat regularly at home, it has to be salmon :)
Always say yes to salmon and dill. I love having it in the sour cream and then just dolloped.Such a pretty presentation Angie - all summer light and fresh. And I'd take the German dark bread,too.
You sure do know a way to a girl's heart Angie...or stomach! What a lovely lunch! Dill and salmon belong together like bread and butter.
Angie... your salmon looks so yummy... will definitely book mark this... :)
My kind of food... yet I haven't tried making garlic dill sour cream... looks yum and healthy too! Happy Weekend Angie!
Yum, I want sour cream to naturally and wonderfully marry an organic green salad and some dill salmon together for me (smile)!
Love the seared salmon, want to grab it right away.
To begin with we love salmon! This recipe sounds delicious!
Looks tender and inviting Angie! Dip with garlic dill sour cream, yum yum!
Angie!
I apologize for not keeping up with my readings. We left for Paris mid July and are currently in Belgrade. We'll be home sometime next week - and I cannot wait to be home. I love to get away, but going home is just as exciting. And this time, In have had so many fascinating culinary experiences, that I cannot wait to practice in my kitchen at home!
I have a similar salmon recipe that I love, but instead of sour cream, the base is mayo... and we also zest lemon into it. It is deadly. This one sounds deadly, too. Why is it that rich meats (or fish) taste so good with rich sauces?
:)

lovely photo, perfectly cooked salmon. :)
Dill and salmon are such a wonderful pairing! What a delicious meal!
I love anything with salmon and have been on a real dill kick lately! Great dish!

Your salmon looks fantastic. That is the one fish my family loves! Copying this one, thanks! great looking photography!
I haven't had salmon in ages, and I've never cooked it with dill. Looks great
I like salmon prepared this way as it is so flavorful. I'll have to try your garlic dill sour cream.
Mm I love salmon and I hear dill is great with it. Thanks for the recipe, Angie.
Garlic dill sour cream sauce - is that legal? It sounds too good to be legal and paired with salmon. Holy Smokes! What a great combination.
During this time we don't get salmon at its best...I shall be patient a little more. Your recipe is one I'm bookmarking for later. It looks really delicious ;o)
Ciao for now and flavourful wishes,
Claudia

Excellent recipe; just what I was looking for !! Only thing, I subb'ed Greek yogurt w/ couple spoons of sour cream (could have left out the cream altogether). Excellent !!!
