Salmon with Dill Sauce

(from Food Network)

This is a really easy recipe. The sauce is really tasty, and the horseradish gives it a nice kick.

Ingredients:
2 T extra-virgin olive oil
4 salmon fillets, pin bones removed
salt and pepper, to taste
1 pint sour cream
2 bunches dill, chopped
juice of 2 lemons
1 shallot, minced
pinch red pepper flakes
3 T horseradish

Coat a large skillet with olive oil and place over medium heat. When hot, add the fillets to the pan, skin side down, then season with salt and pepper. Cook for 5 minutes, until the skin is nice and brown. Turn the fish over and cook for 3 minutes on the other side.

While the salmon cooks, make the sauce...In a small bowl, whisk together sour cream, dill, lemon juice, shallot, red pepper flakes, and horseradish. Season with salt and pepper.

Serve the sauce over the salmon.

Tips and Notes:
- I forgot the shallot when I made this last night. It still turned out great.

- You can probably cook the salmon any way you'd like, rather than pan-searing it like this recipe calls for. This recipe is all about the sauce, really.

I'm just starting to like eating fish, and have yet to cook it for myself... is pan searing the easiest way?

Pan searing is how I learned to cook fish, and it's pretty easy. So is just baking it...broiling is good, too, but you have to watch it closely.
I'd start out with pan searing.
