This recipe offers a delightful twist on salmon, combining the sweetness of maple syrup with the tanginess of Dijon mustard and lemon, all topped with a refreshing dill sauce.
Preheat your oven's broiler to high.
Ensure the oven rack is positioned about 4-6 inches from the broiler for even cooking.
Season the salmon fillets on both sides with salt and pepper.
Pat the salmon dry before seasoning to help the spices adhere better.
Place the salmon fillets on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
Using parchment paper prevents sticking and makes cleanup easier.
Broil the salmon for about 4 minutes per side, or until it flakes easily with a fork but remains slightly pink in the center.
Keep an eye on the salmon to avoid overcooking, as broilers can vary in intensity.
While the salmon is cooking, prepare the sauce by whisking together the sour cream, maple syrup, Dijon mustard, lemon juice, dill, and a pinch of salt and pepper in a small bowl.
Taste the sauce and adjust the seasoning to your preference.
Once the salmon is cooked, remove it from the oven and drizzle the prepared sauce over the top.
Let the salmon rest for a minute before serving to allow the juices to redistribute.
Serve the salmon immediately, garnished with additional fresh dill if desired.
Pair with a side of steamed vegetables or rice for a complete meal.
