Pan-Seared Salmon with Dill Cream

Crispy-skinned salmon finished with a quick lemon dill cream sauce and served alongside roasted asparagus. Scoring the salmon skin before it hits the pan is what stops it curling up as it cooks, letting the whole surface make contact with the hot pan for an even, crispy sear.
