1
Heat a large non-stick skillet over medium-high heat.
2
Add 3 tsp of olive oil to the skillet.
3
Pat salmon fillets dry with paper towels, and season both sides with salt and freshly ground black pepper.
4
Place salmon in the skillet, top-side down. Sear until golden brown on the bottom, about 4 minutes. Flip and continue cooking until the desired doneness is reached, approximately 2-3 minutes longer.
5
Remove the salmon from the skillet and transfer to a plate.
6
In a liquid measuring cup, whisk together cornstarch with 1 tbsp cream, then mix in the remaining cream.
7
Add dijon mustard and honey to the cream mixture, whisking well.
8
Using the same skillet over medium heat, sauté the minced garlic until it is just slightly golden, about 20-30 seconds.
9
Pour in the chicken broth and bring it to a simmer. Reduce heat to medium-low and let it simmer until reduced by about 2/3, approximately 3 minutes.
10
Whisk the cream mixture once more, then pour into the skillet. Cook and stir, bringing the sauce to a simmer.
11
Let the sauce simmer gently, stirring occasionally, for about 1 minute. Remove from heat and stir in the minced fresh dill.
12
Place salmon fillets back into the skillet, spooning the sauce over each piece. Serve warm.
