Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces salmon fillets
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 0.5 cup heavy cream
- 2 cloves garlic
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley
- 2 tablespoons fresh dill
- 1 tablespoon fresh chives
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup.
Pat the salmon fillets dry with paper towels and place them on the prepared baking sheet.
Drizzle the salmon fillets with olive oil and lemon juice. Sprinkle evenly with salt and black pepper.
Bake the salmon in the preheated oven for 15-18 minutes, or until the salmon flakes easily with a fork and is cooked through.
While the salmon is baking, begin preparing the creamy herb sauce. Mince the garlic cloves, parsley, dill, and chives, and set them aside.
In a medium saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and cook for 1-2 minutes until fragrant, stirring frequently.
Lower the heat slightly and stir in the heavy cream. Let the mixture simmer gently for 2-3 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Add the chopped parsley, dill, and chives to the cream mixture. Stir well and let the sauce cook for another 1-2 minutes. Taste and adjust seasoning with a pinch of salt, if necessary.
Once the salmon is done baking, remove it from the oven and transfer it to serving plates.
Spoon the creamy herb sauce generously over each salmon fillet and garnish with additional fresh herbs, if desired.
Serve the Rockin Salmon with Creamy Herb Sauce immediately alongside your favorite sides, such as roasted vegetables or rice.
