Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat until shimmering.

Season salmon fillets with salt and black pepper.

Place salmon fillets skin-side down in the skillet and cook for 4-5 minutes until the skin is crispy.

Flip the salmon and cook for an additional 3-4 minutes until cooked through.

Remove salmon from the skillet and set aside, keeping warm.

In the same skillet, add shallots and garlic; sauté until fragrant, about 2 minutes.

Pour in white wine and lemon juice; simmer until reduced by half, about 3-4 minutes.

Add butter gradually, whisking until melted and emulsified with the sauce.

Stir in heavy cream and mustard; cook for 2-3 minutes until slightly thickened.

Add capers and fresh dill; stir to combine.

Serve salmon topped with the butter sauce and garnish with parsley.
