Ingredients

• 1 to 2 pounds fresh salmon fillets
• 1 tbsp avocado oil or olive oil
• salt and pepper to taste
• For the Creamy Dill Sauce:
• 1 tbsp butter
• 1 tsp minced garlic
• 1 tbsp all purpose flour
• 3/4 cup whole milk
• 1 tbsp freshly chopped dill
• 1 tsp dijon mustard
• salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

1. Preheat oven to 425 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with foil and lightly spray with non-stick spray.
2. Place salmon out on counter for 10 to 15 minutes, to bring to room temperature. Use a paper towel to blot and remove any moisture from salmon.
3. Place salmon on foil-lined baking sheet and drizzle with oil, covering top and sides. Season with salt and pepper. Bake for 7 to 10 minutes or until salmon reaches 140 degrees F at the thickest portion.
4. Creamy Dill Sauce:
5. While the salmon is cooking, prepare the quick pan sauce. Heat a small skillet over medium heat and add in the butter. Once melted, stir in the garlic until fragrant (about 30 seconds).
6. Whisk in the flour, cooking for about 1 to 2 minutes. Gradually stir in the milk, until the sauce is smooth. Stir in the dill, dijon and salt and pepper. Simmer on low heat until the salmon is ready, stirring occasionally.
7. Serve salmon while hot with the creamy dill sauce drizzled over top. Enjoy!
