Instructions

Zest about ½ of a lemon. Cut the lemons in half and juice 3 of the halves. Slice the remaining half.
Heat the oil in an oven-proof skillet over medium-high heat.
Add the salmon and sear for 2-3 minutes on each side, or until golden brown. Set aside on a plate.
To the same skillet cook the garlic for 30 seconds, over medium heat.
Add in the mascarpone together with the lemon zest and juice. Stir in the fresh dill and 2-3 tbsp of water to thin the sauce a bit.
Return the salmon back into the pan and top with lemon slices.
Cook for 4-6 mins until the salmon is cooked through and flaky and the sauce is bubbly.
