Description
A healthy creamy salmon recipe that is a level up from the usual garlic-buttered salmon.
Ingredients
Scale
- 4 salmon fillets
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 3 garlic cloves, minced
- juice of 1 lemon
- 2 cups heavy cream
- 1 cup chicken or vegetable broth
- fresh herbs for garnishing
Instructions
- Over medium heat, gently fry salmon filets in a pan with pre-heated two tablespoons of olive oil – about six minutes on each side. Set aside.
- Using a whisker (affiliate link) or a spoon, mix the juice of a lemon, salt, ground black pepper, pepper flakes (if using), thick cream, and vegetable broth or chicken broth. Make sure that there are no more lumps from the cream.
- Over medium-high heat, sautee minced garlic until they are light golden brown. Reduce temperature to medium heat, then add the lemon-cream-broth mixture. Let simmer and stir occasionally making sure that the mixture comes out smooth. You may want to add broth or water to the mixture if you find your sauce thicker than expected. Otherwise, just let the sauce simmer until it reaches your desired consistency.
- Pour the sauce over the cooked salmon slices and top with garnishings. Or return the cooked salmon slices to the saucepan and
