Time 20m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 8

3 Tbsp lemon juice
1/4 cup chicken broth, fish stock, clam juice, white wine, or water
2/3 cup heavy cream
1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
Salt
Freshly ground black pepper
1 1/2 pounds salmon fillets
Parsley for garnish

Steps:

  • Cook the sauce: Pour the lemon juice, broth, and cream into a small pot and bring to a simmer. Immediately lower the heat to low, cover the pot, and simmer gently for 10 minutes. Add salt and pepper to taste. The last minute or two, uncover the pot and increase the heat to high to reduce the sauce a bit.
  • Prep the salmon: While the sauce is cooking, check the salmon for any stray scales (if skin-on). Use needle nose pliers to remove any pin bones.
  • Cook the salmon fillets: Add the oil to a sauté pan large enough to fit the fillets in one layer. Heat the pan on high and let the pan heat up for 90 seconds. Lay the fillets in the hot pan and lower the heat to medium. Let the fillets sizzle steadily for 3 to 5 minutes, depending on how thick the fish is. A 1-inch-thick fillet will take about 5 minutes. With a metal spatula, gently turn the fillets over. Cook for another 1 to 5 minutes, depending on how well-done you like your fish. We like our salmon a little rare in the center, so we cook the second side of a 1-inch fillet about 3 minutes.
  • Pour lemon cream sauce over the salmon: Place the salmon fillets on plates and pour lemon cream sauce over them and sprinkle with chopped parsley to serve. If you've crisped up the skin, serve the fillets skin-side up so they stay crispy. Otherwise, serve the fillets skin-side down.

Tips:

  • Mise en Place: Before you start cooking, make sure you have all your ingredients and equipment ready. This will help you stay organized and prevent any scrambling.
  • Choose the Right Fish: For this recipe, a firm-fleshed fish like halibut, cod, or salmon works best. Avoid delicate fish like tilapia or sole, as they may fall apart in the sauce.
  • Season Generously: Don't be afraid to season your fish and sauce liberally. Salt and pepper are essential, but you can also add herbs like thyme, rosemary, or dill.
  • Cook the Fish Gently: Overcooking will toughen the fish, so be careful not to cook it for too long. A good rule of thumb is to cook the fish for about 10 minutes per inch of thickness.
  • Make the Sauce Creamy: To achieve a creamy sauce, whisk in some heavy cream or sour cream at the end of cooking. You can also add a bit of grated Parmesan cheese for extra flavor.

Conclusion:

This fish in creamy lemon sauce is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that's perfect for any occasion.
