We eat a lot of salmon at our house because it is my husband's favorite seafood. (And because it is such a great source of protein and omega-3 fatty acids.)

I am always on the lookout for quality sources. Lately, we've been enjoying PrimeWaters Salmon. It is delicious, high-quality salmon that is traceable to pristine locations in Patagonian Chile and Norway. Farm-raised in cold, continually moving water, PrimeWaters Salmon is conveniently delivered to your door. For this recipe, I used Atlantic salmon from Norway - it's both delicious and antibiotic free!

Paired with a vegetable side, this Garlic Salmon makes a simple and elegant meal. Just what I need around the holidays!

How to Make Garlic Salmon

1 First, rub the salmon fillets with garlic. Sprinkle with salt and pepper and refrigerate for 30 minutes.

2 Next, preheat the oven to 400 degrees. Place the salmon on a baking sheet. Combine the butter and lemon juice and drizzle over the salmon.

3 Bake for about 8 minutes, or until the center of the flesh is 120 degrees for medium-rare.

4 While the salmon is cooking, make the sauce by combining sour cream, mayonnaise, dill, lemon juice, lemon zest, salt, and pepper in a medium bowl. Stir until combined.

5 Finally, serve the salmon with Lemon Dill Sauce and garnish with additional dill.

• ¼ cup sour cream
• ¼ cup mayonnaise
• 2 tablespoons fresh dill chopped

• Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

• Rub the salmon fillets with garlic and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Return to the refrigerator and let sit for 30 minutes.

• Place the salmon on a baking sheet. Combine the butter and lemon juice and drizzle over the salmon.
