Instructions
- Prep the salmon: Pat the salmon completely dry with paper towels and season both sides with salt and pepper.
- Sear the salmon: Melt 2 tablespoons Kerrygold® High Heat butter in a large cast iron or stainless-steel skillet over medium-high heat. Place salmon in the pan and sear for 5 minutes, or until it releases easily from the pan.
- Flip and build the sauce: Flip the salmon and reduce heat to medium. Add the remaining butter to the pan. Once the butter is melted, add the shallot and stir to combine.
- Baste and finish: Tilt the pan and use a spoon to baste the salmon with butter. Cook for another 1-2 minutes then stir in the lemon juice and dill. Baste the salmon again and remove from the heat. Salmon is done when the internal temperature reaches 125-130°F.
- Serve: Serve immediately, spooning any remaining sauce over the fillets.
