- 3 (6 ounce) fillets salmon
- Lemon-Pepper Sauce:
- 1/2 cup creme fraiche

- Whisk honey, 1 tablespoon lemon juice, shallot, 1 1/2 teaspoon olive oil, and 1/4 teaspoon lemon zest together in a shallow baking dish. Add salmon fillets and turn to coat. Cover and refrigerate until flavors combine, 15 minutes to 1 hour.
