4 Salmon Fillets, about 1 inch thick (6-8 ounces each)
If possible, use wild caught salmon. Once you eat wild salmon you won't want to go back to farmed salmon. The texture and taste is entirely different and, I think, much better.
Sauce
¾ cup sour cream (regular or reduced fat.) You can also use 1 cup plain, full fat yogurt
¼ cup mayonnaise
2 tbsp prepared horseradish
2 tbsp fresh dill or basil, chopped. If using dry herbs, use 1 tsp, but taste to see if you need to use more
1 tbsp lemon juice
1 tsp soy or tamari sauce
Mix all ingredients thoroughly in a small bowl. Taste test and season with salt and freshly ground pepper. Cover and chill (can be refrigerated and made a day ahead)
Brush olive oil lightly over both sides of salmon. Season with salt and pepper.
Heat a heavy pan (cast iron is always good) with a light coating of olive oil until very hot. Cook salmon for about 5 minute per side, until done. As salmon is a coastal fish, I like mine fully cooked, but if you prefer it less done, check after 4 minutes per side.
