Ingredients

Units Scale

For the Lemon Butter Salmon:

  • 4 slices baguette or crusty bread
  • Olive oil
  • Kosher salt
  • 1/2 recipe Lemon Garlic Butter Sauce
  • 1 1/2 pound center-cut skin-on salmon fillet
  • Cracked black pepper

For the Dill Peas:

  • 1 (16-ounce) bag frozen peas
  • 2 tablespoons chopped fresh dill + more for serving
  • Sliced chives for serving

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Bread: Heat oven to broil with rack set 6 inches from element. Arrange bread slices on a baking sheet, brush with olive oil, and season with salt. Toast under the broiler until golden brown, about 2 minutes. Set aside.
  2. Prepare the Lemon Garlic Butter Sauce: Follow the recipe instructions to make the sauce and keep it warm over low heat, whisking occasionally.
  3. Cook the Salmon: Cut the salmon fillet into four 6-ounce fillets. Season a skillet with salt and pepper, then cook the salmon fillets until browned and cooked through.
  4. Prepare the Dill Peas: Cook peas in boiling water, then toss with Lemon Garlic Butter Sauce and dill. Season to taste.
  5. Assemble: Divide peas on plates, top with salmon fillets, spoon over butter sauce, and garnish with chives, dill, and toasted bread pieces.

Notes

  • For best results, use thick salmon fillets, preferably center-cut.
  • Use kosher salt for optimal flavor and texture.
  • You can substitute dried dill for fresh dill in the peas.
  • To make this recipe gluten-free, use sorghum flour instead of all-purpose flour in the butter sauce.
  • Consider cooking salmon to an internal temperature of 125ºF for optimal doneness.
