Step 1: Season the salmon fillets with salt and black pepper on both sides.
Step 2: Heat 1 tablespoon of butter in a skillet over medium heat. Add the salmon fillets, skin side down, and cook for about 4-5 minutes until the skin is crispy.
Step 3: Flip the salmon, add the juice of half a lemon, and cook for another 3-4 minutes until just cooked through. Remove from the skillet and keep warm.
Step 4: In the same skillet, add the remaining butter. Stir in the heavy cream and a handful of chopped dill. Cook for 2-3 minutes or until the sauce thickens slightly.
Step 5: Serve the salmon fillets topped with the dill sauce and a slice of lemon.
Serve with a side of roasted new potatoes or a fresh cucumber salad.
