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).

Tips:

  • Select the right salmon. Choose a fresh, firm salmon fillet with bright pink flesh. Avoid fillets that are slimy or have a strong fishy odor.
  • Make sure the salmon is cooked through. The internal temperature of the salmon should reach 145°F (63°C). You can check this by inserting a meat thermometer into the thickest part of the fish.
  • Don't overcook the salmon. Overcooked salmon will be dry and tough. Cook it just until it is cooked through, then remove it from the heat immediately.
  • Use a good quality tequila. The tequila you use in the cream sauce will have a big impact on the flavor of the dish. Choose a 100% blue agave tequila that is smooth and flavorful.
  • Don't boil the cream sauce. Bring the sauce to a simmer over low heat, but do not let it boil. Boiling will cause the sauce to curdle.
  • Serve the salmon with your favorite sides. Some popular sides for salmon include roasted vegetables, mashed potatoes, and rice.

Conclusion:

Salmon with tequila cream sauce is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a special occasion or a weeknight dinner. The salmon is cooked to perfection and the tequila cream sauce is rich and flavorful. This dish is sure to impress your guests.
