Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces (4-6 oz each) Salmon fillets (skinless)
- 2 tablespoons Butter
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil
- 3 cloves Garlic cloves, minced
- 1 medium Shallot, finely chopped
- 2 tablespoons All-purpose flour
- 1 cup Chicken or seafood stock
- 1 cup Heavy cream
- 1 quarter cup Parmesan cheese, grated
- 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley, chopped
- to taste Salt
- to taste Black pepper
Instructions
Pat the salmon fillets dry with paper towels and season both sides with salt and black pepper.
Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil and 1 tablespoon of butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Once the butter has melted, add the salmon fillets, cooking for 3-4 minutes on each side until lightly golden and just cooked through. Remove the salmon from the skillet and set aside on a plate.
In the same skillet, add the remaining 1 tablespoon of butter. When melted, add the minced garlic and chopped shallot, cooking for 2-3 minutes until fragrant and soft.
Sprinkle the flour into the skillet, stirring well to create a paste. Cook for 1 minute to remove the raw flour taste.
Gradually whisk in the chicken or seafood stock, ensuring there are no lumps. Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer, allowing it to thicken slightly.
Stir in the heavy cream and Parmesan cheese, mixing until the cheese melts and the sauce becomes smooth and creamy. Add lemon juice and season with more salt and black pepper to taste.
Return the salmon fillets to the skillet, spooning the cream sauce over the top. Simmer for 3-4 minutes to warm the salmon through and allow the flavors to meld.
Remove the skillet from the heat and garnish with freshly chopped parsley.
Serve the creamed salmon hot over rice, pasta, or toasted bread for a comforting meal.
