Pan-Seared Salmon with Dill Sauce and Roasted Vegetables
Created by: Howcan Team
Ingredients
- 4 salmon fillets (6 oz each)
- 1/4 cup olive oil
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 1 pound mixed vegetables (such as bell peppers, zucchini, and cherry tomatoes)
- 1 tablespoon chopped fresh dill
- 1/2 cup mayonnaise
- 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon honey
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).
- Season the salmon fillets with salt and pepper.
- In a small bowl, mix together the mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, lemon juice, and honey to make the dill sauce. Stir in the chopped dill and set aside.
- Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the salmon fillets, 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 2 tablespoons of olive oil, salt, and pepper. Spread them out on a baking sheet and roast in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, or until they are tender and slightly caramelized.
- To serve, place a portion of roasted vegetables on each plate, top with a salmon fillet, and drizzle with the dill sauce. 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-seared salmon is a nod to the traditional Scandinavian method of cooking fish, while the dill sauce adds a refreshing and herby flavor. The addition of roasted vegetables brings a hearty and wholesome element to the dish, making it a well-rounded meal. In recent years, this dish has gained popularity in upscale restaurants and has become a staple on many menus. Chefs like Gordon Ramsay and Jamie Oliver have put their own spin on the dish, incorporating their signature cooking styles and flavors. The dish has also become a favorite among home cooks looking to impress with a restaurant-quality meal. For the best version of this dish, sourcing high-quality, fresh salmon is crucial. The salmon should be seared to perfection, with a crispy skin and tender, flaky flesh. The dill sauce should be creamy and tangy, with a generous amount of fresh dill for that unmistakable flavor. When it comes to the roasted vegetables, a mix of colorful and seasonal produce adds visual appeal and a variety of flavors and textures. While the classic recipe calls for pan-searing the salmon, some alternative methods include grilling or baking the fish, each imparting a unique flavor profile. Additionally, the dill sauce can be customized with the addition of ingredients like lemon, capers, or even a hint of mustard for a different twist. Today, the best versions of this dish can be found in seafood-centric restaurants in coastal regions, where fresh salmon is readily available. Whether served in a fine dining establishment or prepared at home, Pan-Seared Salmon with Dill Sauce and roasted vegetables is a delightful and satisfying dish that celebrates the natural flavors of the ingredients.
