Pan Seared Salmon with Dill Sour Cream Sauce

[heart_this] · Jun 14, 2007 · 4 Comments

Pan Seared Salmon with Dill Sour Cream Sauce

I keep meaning to eat more fish but I never seem to get around to doing it… Last week I was watching the food network and saw an episode about pan seared salmon. Seeing the amazingly seared salmon was just the nudge that I needed. I picked up some nice looking salmon along with some asparagus when I went to the market on the weekend. The salmon seared up nice and golden and crispy. It was really good. I enjoy salmon and it is easy to cook. I really should have it more often.

    Sounds great. I really love to serve salmon with Tzatziki sauce, which is very similar to the sauce you made. My dill didn’t come up this year, and I never remembered to get a new plant. Need to put that on my shopping list before it’s too late.

    This sauce was delicious, and I used the leftover sauce as a sauce for potato salad, and that was really yummy too! Thanks for the recipe 🙂

    My husband recently returned from a King Salmon fishing trip and asked me to entertain his buddies using his recent catch. Success! Success! Success! I am delighted to report that the salmon dish I made using your wonderful pan seared salmon and dill was successful. Very much so. I can’t believe that I did it. Thanks. It's no doubt due to your terrific and easy-to-follow instructions. This is one those recipes most people would guard with their life. I ended up making so much by request that I had to send someone to the store to get more ingredients. lol…. Thanks 🙂
