Recipe: Salmon with Feta Dill Sauce

Ingredients

• 2 tablespoons butter
• 1 ¼ cups heavy cream
• 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
• 4 oz crumbled feta cheese
• 3 tablespoons chopped fresh dill (reserve some for garnish)

Instructions

Step 1: Season and Cook the Salmon

1. Drizzle lemon juice over each salmon fillet, then sprinkle generously with Old Bay seasoning for added flavor.
2. For Air Fryer: Place the salmon fillets in the air fryer and cook at 400°F for 8 to 10 minutes.
3. For Oven: Alternatively, bake the salmon on a baking sheet at 400°F for 8 to 10 minutes until the salmon is flaky and fully cooked.

Step 2: Prepare the Feta Dill Sauce

1. In a skillet over high heat, melt the butter. Add the heavy cream, Dijon mustard, and a dash of Old Bay seasoning for depth of flavor.

3. Add the crumbled feta cheese and most of the chopped fresh dill, reserving a small amount of dill for garnish. Continue to cook for an additional 2-3 minutes, stirring until the sauce thickens to your preferred consistency.

Step 3: Serve

1. Place the cooked salmon fillets on a serving plate and spoon the feta dill sauce generously over the top.
2. Garnish with the reserved fresh dill for a burst of color and added freshness.
