Instructions

1

Heat 2 tbsp olive oil and 2 tbsp butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
2

Season 2 lbs pat dry salmon fillets (skin-on) with 1/2 tsp salt and 1/4 tsp black pepper. Place skin-side up in the skillet and sear for 2-3 minutes until the skin is crispy. Transfer to a plate.

Add 1 lb halved baby potatoes to the same skillet and cook for 5 minutes until they start to soften.

5

Pour in 1/2 cup chicken broth and bring to a simmer.

Return salmon to the skillet, nestling it among the vegetables.
7

Reduce heat to medium and simmer gently for 8-10 minutes until the salmon is cooked through (internal temperature 145°F).
8

Remove from heat and stir in 1/2 cup sour cream, 3 tbsp chopped fresh dill, and 2 tsp lemon juice.
9

Taste and adjust seasonings with additional salt and pepper if needed.

Questions

Can I make Creamy Dill Salmon Skillet dairy-free?

Yes. The dairy in this entry is 2 tbsp butter, 1/2 cup sour cream. Swap the butter for olive oil where it melts, or a plant-based block butter where it is creamed; the sour cream for thick coconut yogurt with a squeeze of lemon. The richness shifts slightly, but the method does not change.

How long does Creamy Dill Salmon Skillet keep?

Refrigerate leftovers within two hours and eat them within two days (seafood turns fast). Reheat gently on the stovetop.

Can I halve or double Creamy Dill Salmon Skillet?

Yes. As written it serves 4. Every ingredient in this entry carries precomputed half and double quantities, and the app's batch dial rewrites them inside each step. When doubling on the stovetop, use your widest pan or work in two batches so the food sears instead of steaming.
