Creamy Salmon Piccata

| 6 oz skinless salmon fillets

Salt and pepper (to taste)

flour ((OPTIONAL))

unsalted butter

dry white wine*

low-sodium chicken stock/broth ((fat free if you can find it))

cornstarch ((or corn flour))

lemon juice ((adjust

capers

reduced fat cream ((or heavy cream)*)

parsley (to serve)

Lemon (to serve)

Season both sides of salmon fillets evenly with salt and pepper. Add ¼ cup of the flour to a shallow dish; dredge the salmon in the flour to evenly coat. Shake off excess.

Melt 1 tablespoon of butter in a large nonstick pan or skillet over medium-high heat. Add 1 tablespoon oil and swirl to mix through the butter. Add salmon; sauté 4 minutes on each side or until just cooked to your liking. Transfer salmon to a warm plate; tent with foil and set aside.

Add remaining 1 tablespoon butter (or oil) to pan and melt. Add the garlic; sauté for a further minute until fragrant. Add wine; bring to a boil scraping any browned bits off of the bottom of the pan. Cook until liquid almost evaporates, stirring occasionally. Add ¾ cup stock/broth to the pan along with the lemon juice; bring to a boil and cook for a further minute.

Mix 1 teaspoon of cornstarch (or cornflour) with 2 tablespoons of the reserved broth, whisking well to combine. Pour the mixture into the pan, stirring through the liquid to create a sauce. Cook for 1 minute or until slightly thickened. If it's not thick enough, mix the remaining cornstarch with the remaining broth and add to the centre of the pan. Stir in the cream and remove from heat and add the capers.

Place the salmon fillets back into the pan. Sprinkle with chopped parsley, pepper and add in lemon slices.

Serve immediately with the sauce over rice or pasta, vegetables of choice or with a salad.

Salmon with Herb & Garlic Cream Sauce

salmon fillets (, skinless (~180 grams/6 ounces each) (Note 1))

tsp black pepper

tsp salt

/ 1 tbsp butter (, unsalted)

garlic (, finely minced)

dry white wine

chicken or vegetable stock/broth (, low sodium)

cream (, heavy/thickened)

tarragon leaves* (, finely chopped)

tsp chervil* (, finely chopped)

tsp parsley* (, finely chopped, plus more for garnish)

Season: Pat salmon dry, then sprinkle with salt and pepper.

Pan-sear: Heat oil in a large non stick skillet over medium high heat. Add salmon, presentation side down, and cook for 3 minutes until golden brown.

Flip: Turn salmon and cook the other side for another 2 minutes, until the internal temperature registers 49°C / 120°F (for medium-rare, recommended) or until cooked to your taste (Note 5).

Butter baste: When it&#039;s almost cooked, add the butter. Melt, then spoon over the salmon a few times.

Rest: Remove salmon onto plate, and cover loosely with foil to keep warm.

Salmon:

Sauté garlic: Add garlic and stir for 20 seconds or until light golden.

Reduce wine: Add white wine, turn up heat to high. Bring to simmer while stirring base of the pan to dissolve all the golden bits into the sauce. Cook 1 minute or until it most evaporates and the wine-y smell is gone.

Thicken cream &amp; stock: Add cream and chicken stock, then simmer on medium heat for 2 - 3 minutes until reduced and slightly thickened.

Add parmesan &amp; herbs: Stir through parmesan (this will thicken sauce more), then the herbs. Taste sauce and see if more salt and pepper is needed.

Serve: Serve salmon with Creamy Sauce, ensuring there&#039;s something on the plate to soak up all that amazing sauce! Mashed Potato rates highly. See above video for list of suggestions (including side salads).

12 Sauce for Salmon Ideas

(skin

Kosher salt

Black pepper

yogurt

tablespoons mayonnaise

tablespoon lemon juice

teaspoon garlic powder

teaspoon onion powder

teaspoons water

Preheat the oven to 450 degrees Fahrenheit.*

Generously sprinkle the salmon with kosher salt and fresh ground black pepper. Place it on a parchment-lined baking sheet.

Bake the salmon for about 10 minutes until flaky and just cooked; test it with a fork to assess doneness. Watch the salmon to make sure not to overcook; the timing can vary based on the thickness of the salmon and variations between ovens.

While the salmon bakes, mix together the sauce ingredients, adding the water last. Use the water to bring it to a loose, drizzle-able consistency. (You may need a touch more depending on your yogurt brand.)

Serve the salmon and garnish each fillet with 2 tablespoons of the lemon dill sauce. Save leftover sauce refrigerated.

A delicious, fail-proof dish that&#39;s ready in just 20 minutes. The salmon is seared until crispy on the outside and juicy in the middle, then smothered in a divine sauce enhanced with fresh dill for a fine dining touch. Serve it with buttered potatoes for a quick yet satisfying dinner.

½ tsp sweet paprika

½ tsp black pepper (divided)

salt (divided)

carrot

⅛ tsp ground turmeric

tbsp all-purpose flour

Get your prep done before you start cooking: Pat the salmon fillets dry. Season both sides with garlic powder, sweet paprika, ¼ teaspoon salt and ¼ teaspoon black pepper.

chopping

Peel and grate the carrot. Dice the onion, mince the garlic cloves and chop the dill.

searing

Heat oil and butter over medium high in a large nonstick skillet. Add salmon fillets and sear 3 minutes per side. Remove from skillet onto a clean plate.

sautéing

Add carrot, garlic and onion. Sauté for 3 minutes. Add turmeric, and the remaining salt and black pepper.

simmering

Add flour and stir until incorporated. Add vegetable broth and simmer for 1 minute while stirring constantly.

stirring

Pour in cream, bring to a simmer. Add dill and lemon juice. Stir until combined. Taste and adjust salt. If the sauce thickens too much, add a splash of cream.

Return salmon to the skillet and simmer for 3 minutes. Finish off with dill and freshly ground black pepper. Enjoy!

Made this today and it is sooooo good!! I carmelized the onions for longer than the recipe called for because I really wanted to get them soft and translucent and golden, and then I added in the carrots and garlic. I served it with baby gold potatoes tossed in butter and garlic and the leftover dill, along with a Caesar salad and it was a 10/10.

Very complimentary for salmon and trout. Great drizzled over vegetables as well. Many may not know however that a brown onion is the same as a yellow onion. Commonly, stores have yellow onion bins, but not brown onion bins. My point is most people are more inclined to try a new reciepe knowing the ingredients are easily accessible. No sense making it complicated. The reciepe is very good and 
worth a try.

Served this at a dinner party and the results were nothing short of FANTASTIC!  I may eat this sauce on shoe sole!
