Brown Butter Salmon with Red Onion and Dill
 
 
Brown butter salmon with red onion and dill makes for a delicious and indulgent dinner. Salmon is topped with a brown butter-lemon mixture and then baked to perfection.
Yield: 4-6 servings
Ingredients
  • 1 meyer lemon
  • 2 lb salmon fillet
  • kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
  • 6 tbsp unsalted butter
  • ¼ cup olive oil
  • ½ small red onion, thinly sliced, divided
  • 2 tbsp brined capers, drained
  • 1 cup fresh dill
  • 2 tbsp toasted black sesame seeds
Instructions
  1. Heat oven to 325F. Thinly slice half the lemon, removing any seeds. Juice the other half of the lemon. Set aside.
  2. Place the salmon in a large baking dish and season with salt and pepper. Set aside.
  3. Heat the butter in a medium skillet over medium-high heat, simmering until it browns, about 2-3 minutes. Stir in the olive oil, lemon slices, and half of the sliced onion. Season to taste with salt and black pepper. Continue to cook until the lemons and onion start to brown and crisp up, about 2-3 minutes. Stir in the capers and remove from the heat.
  4. Pour the brown butter and lemon mixture over the salmon. Bake to desired done-ness (ideally medium-rare), about 12-15 minutes. Remove from the oven.
  5. While the salmon cooks, toss together the dill, sesame seeds, and lemon juice in a medium bowl. Season to taste with salt and black pepper. Serve the salmon topped with the dill and remaining sliced red onion.
