Let’s break it down! ### STEP 1: Prepare the Salmon Start by seasoning your salmon fillets with a splash of lemon juice and a good sprinkle of Old Bay seasoning. Goes well with a lot, right? Place those bad boys in an air fryer at 400 degrees for about 8 to 10 minutes. Don’t have an air fryer? No worries! You can bake them in the oven at the same temperature on a baking sheet. ### STEP 2: Make the Delicious Cream Sauce While the salmon cooks, get a skillet hot over medium-high heat. Toss in the butter, heavy cream, Dijon mustard, and a pinch more Old Bay seasoning. Once it’s bubbling like a pot of excitement, reduce the heat to medium-low and let it simmer for about three minutes, stirring occasionally.

Stir in your crumbled feta cheese and most of the fresh dill—save a sprinkle for garnishing later. Cook for another 2 to 3 minutes while stirring, until it reaches the creamy thickness you desire. ### STEP 4: Plate It Up Serve that luscious cream sauce over your perfectly cooked salmon, and garnish with the extra dill. Voilà! You’ve just made a gorgeous meal that looks like it came straight from a fancy restaurant! ## Pro Tips for the Best Results - **Don’t Overcook the Salmon**: It’s better to undercook than overcook. Aim for an internal temperature of 145°F. - **Fresh Ingredients**: Use fresh dill for the best flavor. Dried just won’t cut it! - **Experiment with Seasoning**: Love a bit of spice? Add a pinch of cayenne to your sauce for a kick. - **Serve with Sides**: Pair with steamed veggies or a light salad for a complete meal. ## Fun Variations & Topping Ideas ### Variations: - **Herb Swaps**: Try using parsley or basil instead of dill for a different flavor profile. - **Cheese Alternatives**: Crumbled goat cheese works wonders too. Just saying! - **Add Veggies**: Toss in some spinach or sun-dried tomatoes for extra flavor and nutrition. ### Toppings: - A sprinkle of toasted pine nuts for some crunch. - A drizzle of balsamic glaze for a sweet touch. - Lemon zest to brighten things up! ## Storing and Reheating Okay, so you’ve got some leftovers? Lucky you! Here’s how to handle them: - **Refrigerating**: Store the leftover salmon and sauce in separate airtight containers. They’ll keep in the fridge for up to 3 days. - **Reheating**: Gently reheat the salmon in the microwave or a skillet on low heat. For the sauce, warm it on the stovetop, adding a splash of cream if it’s too thick. ## Leftover Ideas Leftover salmon? No problem! Here are a few fun ideas: - **Salmon Salad**: Flake the salmon into salad greens with some cherry tomatoes, cucumber, and a light vinaigrette. - **Pasta Toss**: Mix with your favorite pasta and some roasted veggies. Creamy feta sauce? Yes, please! - **Breakfast Scramble**: Add it to scrambled eggs with some spinach for a protein-packed brunch.
