Ingredients
- 🐟 Salmon fillets: 4 pieces (about 6 oz each)
- 🥫 Dijon mustard: 1/4 cup
- 🥛 Heavy cream: 1/2 cup
- 🍋 Lemon juice: 2 tablespoons (freshly squeezed)
- 🧄 Garlic: 2 cloves (minced)
- 🌿 Fresh dill: 2 tablespoons (chopped, plus extra for garnish)

Instructions
- Pat the salmon fillets dry with paper towels and brush both sides with olive oil. Season with salt and pepper.
- In a mixing bowl, combine Dijon mustard, heavy cream, lemon juice, minced garlic, and chopped dill. Whisk until smooth.
- Place the salmon fillets in a shallow dish and pour half of the creamy Dijon sauce over them. Marinate for 15-20 minutes.
