Add minced garlic and diced onion; sauté until translucent, about 2-3 minutes.

Pour in white wine and cook until reduced by half, about 2-3 minutes.

Stir in chicken broth and bring to a simmer.

Add heavy cream, lemon juice, lemon zest, and mustard; whisk to combine.

Simmer sauce for 3-4 minutes until slightly thickened.

Stir in fresh dill and capers; season with salt and pepper to taste.

Return salmon to the skillet, spoon sauce over the top, and heat through for 1-2 minutes.

Serve salmon drizzled with creamy lemon dill sauce.
