Lemon Dill Chicken/Salmon Recipe

Ingredients:

Five boneless skinless chicken breasts or Five 5oz salmon filet
Sea Salt and Freshly Ground Pepper to Taste
4 teaspoons Extra Virgin Olive Oil (Divided)
1/4 cup chopped onion
3 cloves garlic, minced
1 1/4 cup reduced sodium chicken broth
3 tsp white whole wheat flour or oat flour (oat flour is simply blending up plain rolled oats)
2 tbsp chopped fresh dill divided
2 tbsp lemon juice

Method

Season chicken breasts or salmon on both sides with salt and pepper. Heat 2 teaspoons oil in a large heavy skillet over medium-high heat. Add the chicken or salmon and sear until well browned on both sides, about 3 minutes per side. Transfer chicken or salmon to a plate and tent with foil.

Reduce heat to medium. Add the remaining 2 teaspoons oil to the pan. Add onion and garlic and cook, stirring, for 1 minute. Whisk broth, flour, 1 tablespoon dill and lemon juice in a measuring cup and add to pan. Cook, whisking, until slightly thickened, about 3 minutes.

Return the chicken or salmon and any accumulated juices to the pan; reduce heat to low and simmer until the chicken or salmon is cooked through, about 4 minutes. Transfer the chicken or salmon to a warmed platter. Spoon sauce over the chicken/salmon. Garnish with the remaining 1 tablespoon chopped fresh dill
