Creamy salmon is a delicious and elegant dish that is simple to prepare. Here's a step-by-step recipe for making creamy salmon:
Creamy Salmon:
Ingredients:
4 salmon fillets (about 6 oz/170g each), skinless
Salt and black pepper, to taste
2 tablespoons olive oil
1/4 cup unsalted butter
4 cloves garlic, minced
1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
1 cup heavy cream
1/2 cup chicken or vegetable broth
1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
1 teaspoon dried Italian herbs (or a mixture of dried oregano, basil, and thyme)
Fresh parsley, chopped, for garnish
Lemon wedges, for serving
Instructions:
Prep Salmon:
Pat the salmon fillets dry with paper towels. Season both sides with salt and black pepper.
Sear Salmon:
In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the salmon fillets, and sear for about 3-4 minutes on each side or until golden brown and cooked to your liking. Remove the salmon from the skillet and set aside.
Make Creamy Sauce:
In the same skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Add minced garlic and sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant.
Add Tomatoes:
Add the halved cherry tomatoes to the skillet and cook for 2-3 minutes until they begin to soften.
Pour in Cream and Broth:
Pour in the heavy cream and chicken or vegetable broth. Stir well to combine.
Simmer:
Allow the mixture to simmer for 2-3 minutes to let the flavors meld and the sauce thicken slightly.
Add Parmesan and Herbs:
Stir in the grated Parmesan cheese and dried Italian herbs. Continue stirring until the cheese is melted and the sauce is smooth.
Return Salmon to the Pan:
Return the seared salmon fillets to the skillet, spooning some of the creamy sauce over the top.
Finish Cooking:
Let the salmon cook in the creamy sauce for an additional 3-4 minutes or until the salmon is heated through.
Garnish and Serve:
Garnish the creamy salmon with chopped fresh parsley. Serve the salmon over pasta, rice, or with crusty bread. Optionally, serve with lemon wedges for a squeeze of fresh lemon juice.
Enjoy:
Your creamy salmon is ready to be enjoyed! It's a rich and flavorful dish that is perfect for a special dinner.
Feel free to customize the recipe by adding spinach, sun-dried tomatoes, or other ingredients to suit your taste.
