Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces Salmon fillets
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 2 cloves Garlic cloves, minced
- 1 cup Heavy cream
- 0.5 cup Chicken broth
- 2 tablespoons Lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- 2 tablespoons Fresh dill, chopped
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley, chopped
Instructions
Season the salmon fillets with 1 teaspoon of salt and 0.5 teaspoon of black pepper on both sides.
In a large skillet over medium-high heat, heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil. Once hot, add the salmon fillets skin side down. Cook for about 4-5 minutes on each side until golden brown and cooked through. Remove the salmon from the skillet and set aside.
In the same skillet, add 2 tablespoons of unsalted butter and let it melt. Add 2 minced garlic cloves and sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant.
Pour in 1 cup of heavy cream and 0.5 cup of chicken broth, stirring constantly to combine with the garlic.
Add 2 tablespoons of lemon juice and 1 teaspoon of Dijon mustard to the cream mixture. Stir until well incorporated.
Let the sauce simmer gently for about 4-5 minutes until slightly thickened.
Stir in 2 tablespoons each of chopped fresh dill and parsley. Season the sauce with a pinch of salt and pepper to taste.
Return the salmon fillets to the skillet, spooning some sauce over them.
Allow the salmon to warm through in the sauce for about 1-2 minutes.
Serve the salmon fillets with the cream sauce drizzled over the top and garnish with additional fresh dill or parsley if desired.
