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).

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

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 salmon fillets. Fresh salmon will have a vibrant orange-pink color and a firm texture. Avoid fillets that are dull or have a slimy texture.
  • Cook the salmon gently. Overcooked salmon will be dry and tough. Cook it over medium heat until it is just cooked through, or about 6-8 minutes per side.
  • Make sure the sauce is creamy and smooth. The sauce should be thick enough to coat the salmon, but not so thick that it is gloppy. If the sauce is too thick, add a little milk or cream.
  • Serve the salmon immediately. Salmon is best served hot, with the creamy silk sauce spooned over top. It can be served with a variety of sides, such as roasted vegetables, rice, or mashed potatoes.

Conclusion:

Salmon in creamy silk sauce is a delicious and elegant dish that is perfect for a special occasion. It is easy to make and can be prepared in under 30 minutes. The creamy silk sauce is rich and flavorful, and it pairs perfectly with the delicate flavor of the salmon. This dish is sure to impress your guests and will leave them wanting more.
