Categories     Mains     Starters

Number Of Ingredients 13

4 salmon fillets (, skinless (~180g/6oz each) (Note 1))
1/2 tsp black pepper
1/2 tsp salt
1 tbsp olive oil
15g / 1 tbsp butter (, unsalted)
2 garlic cloves (, finely minced)
1/2 cup dry white wine ((or more chicken stock) (Note 2))
1/2 cup chicken or vegetable stock/broth (, low sodium)
1 cup cream (, heavy/thickened )
1/2 cup parmesan (, finely grated (grate your own, Note 3))
2 tsp tarragon leaves* (, finely chopped)
2 tsp chervil* (, finely chopped)
2 tsp parsley* (, finely chopped, plus more for garnish)

Steps:

  • Season: Pat salmon dry, then sprinkle with salt and pepper.
  • Pan-sear: Heat oil in a large non stick skillet over medium high heat. Add salmon, presentation side down, and cook for 3 minutes until golden brown.
  • Flip: Turn salmon and cook the other side for another 2 minutes, until the internal temperature registers 49°C / 120°F (for medium-rare, recommended) or until cooked to your taste (Note 5).
  • Butter baste: When it's almost cooked, add the butter. Melt, then spoon over the salmon a few times.
  • Rest: Remove salmon onto plate, and cover loosely with foil to keep warm.
  • Sauté garlic: Add garlic and stir for 20 seconds or until light golden.
  • Reduce wine: Add white wine, turn up heat to high. Bring to simmer while stirring base of the pan to dissolve all the golden bits into the sauce. Cook 1 minute or until it most evaporates and the wine-y smell is gone.
  • Thicken cream & stock: Add cream and chicken stock, then simmer on medium heat for 2 - 3 minutes until reduced and slightly thickened.
  • Add parmesan & herbs: Stir through parmesan (this will thicken sauce more), then the herbs. Taste sauce and see if more salt and pepper is needed.
  • Serve: Serve salmon with Creamy Sauce, ensuring there's something on the plate to soak up all that amazing sauce! Mashed Potato rates highly. See above video for list of suggestions (including side salads).

Time 25m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 10

2 tablespoons light brown sugar
1/2 teaspoon paprika
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
1/4 cup panko breadcrumbs
1/2 cup parsley leaves, chopped
2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
1 1/2 pounds skin-on salmon fillet, preferably center-cut
1 tablespoon Dijon

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with foil. Mix the brown sugar, paprika, garlic powder, cayenne pepper, 1 teaspoon kosher salt and a generous amount of freshly ground black pepper in a small bowl. Mix the panko with the parsley, butter, 1/4 teaspoon kosher salt and a few grinds of black pepper in another small bowl.
  • Place the salmon skin-side down on the prepared baking sheet and spread the surface with the Dijon. Press the brown sugar mixture all over the salmon then top with the breadcrumb mixture. Crimp all four sides of the foil to create a border around the salmon, this will help collect the juices so they don't spread and burn. Bake until the breadcrumbs are golden brown, and the salmon is firm and flakes easily when pressed, 15 to 18 minutes. Cut into four equal portions for serving.

Salmon with Garlic Cream Sauce image

Perfectly pan-seared salmon served with the most irresistible garlicky cream sauce with sneaked in spinach!

Provided by Chungah Rhee

Categories     entree

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

4 (6-ounce) salmon fillets
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
1 1/2 tablespoons unsalted butter
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 medium shallot, diced
2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
1/4 cup dry white wine*
3/4 cup chicken stock
3/4 cup half and half
3 cups baby spinach
2 tablespoons chopped fresh dill
1 lemon, cut in wedges

Steps:

  • Using paper towels, pat both sides of the salmon fillets dry; season with 1 teaspoon salt and 1/2 teaspoon pepper. Melt butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Add salmon fillets to the skillet, skin side up, and cook until golden brown and a crust has formed, about 4-5 minutes. Using a fish turner, flip, and cook for an additional 4-5 minutes, or until desired doneness. Remove and keep warm. Reduce heat to low; add garlic and shallots, and cook, stirring frequently, until fragrant, about 2 minutes. Whisk in flour until lightly browned, about 1 minute. Stir in wine, scraping any browned bits from the bottom of the skillet. Stir in chicken stock and half and half until slightly thickened, about 2-3 minutes; season with salt and pepper, to taste. Stir in spinach until wilted, about 1-2 minutes. Return salmon to the skillet; sprinkle with dill. Serve immediately with lemon wedges.

Tips:

  • Use fresh, high-quality salmon for the best flavor.
  • Cook the salmon gently to avoid overcooking and drying it out.
  • Don't be afraid to experiment with different herbs and spices to create your own unique sauce.
  • Serve the salmon sauce over your favorite pasta, rice, or vegetables.
  • Garnish the salmon sauce with fresh herbs or lemon zest for a pop of color and flavor.
