Pan-Seared Salmon with Dill Sauce and Roasted Vegetables
Created by: Howcan Team
Ingredients
- 4 salmon fillets (6 oz each)
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 1/4 cup chopped fresh dill
- 1/2 cup mayonnaise
- 1 lemon, juiced
- 1 lb mixed vegetables (such as bell peppers, zucchini, and cherry tomatoes)
- 2 tbsp balsamic vinegar
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tsp dried thyme
- 1/4 tsp red pepper flakes
- 2 tbsp chopped fresh parsley
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).
- In a small bowl, mix together the mayonnaise, lemon juice, and chopped dill to make the dill sauce. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Set aside.
- Season the salmon fillets with salt and pepper. In a large skillet, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the salmon fillets to the skillet, skin side down, and cook for 4-5 minutes until the skin is crispy. Flip the fillets and cook for an additional 3-4 minutes, or until the salmon is cooked to your desired level of doneness. Remove from the skillet and set aside.
- While the salmon is cooking, toss the mixed vegetables with the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil, balsamic vinegar, minced garlic, dried thyme, and red pepper flakes on a baking sheet. Season with salt and pepper. Roast in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, or until the vegetables are tender and slightly caramelized.
- To serve, spoon the dill sauce over the pan-seared salmon fillets and sprinkle with chopped fresh parsley. Serve the roasted vegetables on the side. Enjoy!
The history of Pan-Seared Salmon with Dill Sauce dates back to the coastal regions of Scandinavia, where salmon is abundant and dill is a popular herb. This dish has evolved over time, with chefs around the world adding their own unique twists. The pan-searing method locks in the salmon's natural flavors, while the dill sauce adds a refreshing and tangy element. The side of roasted vegetables complements the dish with its earthy and caramelized flavors. Today, this dish can be found in upscale seafood restaurants and fine dining establishments, with chefs showcasing their culinary skills in perfecting the art of pan-searing salmon and creating the perfect dill sauce. For the best version of this dish, look for restaurants with access to fresh, high-quality salmon and a chef who understands the delicate balance of flavors. The key to getting this dish right lies in the quality of the salmon, the freshness of the dill, and the precise searing technique. As an alternative method, some chefs may opt for grilling the salmon to impart a smoky flavor, while still serving it with the classic dill sauce and roasted vegetables.
