Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 (6-oz.) salmon fillets
  • Kosher salt
  • Freshly ground black pepper
  • 1 tbsp. extra-virgin olive oil
  • 1 tbsp. butter
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tbsp. all-purpose flour
  • 1 1/4 cups heavy cream
  • Juice and zest of 1 lemon
  • 2 tbsp. chopped dill
  • Crushed red pepper flakes

Instructions
