Directions
1.
Heat oven to 375 degrees F.
2.
Whip cream with a whisk or electric beater until soft peaks form; set aside. Line a baking pan with aluminum foil.
3.
Season salmon with juice from lemon, salt, and pepper. Mix 1 tablespoon dill, parsley, and onion in a small bowl.
4.
Heat a large nonstick skillet over high heat 2 minutes. Sear salmon on both sides 2 minutes per side until nicely browned. Transfer to baking pan.
5.
Pat herb mixture onto salmon. Bake 5 to 6 minutes for medium doneness. Remove from oven, transfer to warmed plates.
6.
While salmon is baking, prepare Hollandaise sauce: Place egg yolks, lemon juice, salt, and pepper in a food processor or blender and process briefly. With the motor running, pour in melted butter in a very thin stream. Sauce should thicken slowly.
7.
Gently fold Hollandaise sauce and remaining dill into whipped cream. Spoon sauce over fish.
