Servings 5 people
Ingredients
- 1-2 tbsp olive oil
- 5-6 salmon fillets
- 3 tbsp butter
- 7 cloves garlic minced
- 1 tbsp flour
- 1 cup broth chicken or vegtable
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1 tbsp dill minced
- 1 tbsp parsley minced
Instructions
- Pat salmon fillets dry and season with a pinch of salt and a few cracks of fresh black pepper.
- In a non-stick pan over medium heat add the oil. Once hot enough add the salmon fillets skin side down (there should be an audible sizzle when it hits the pan). Cook for 3-4 minutes then flip. Cook for another 2 minutes then remove from the pan. *don't worry if it is not completely cooked though, the salmon will finish in the sauce at the end.
- Lower the heat to low-medium and add the butter. Once melted add the garlic and cook until soft and fragrant 2-3 minutes. Add the flour and cook for another 2-3 minutes.
- Add the broth and vigorously mix until the flour and broth have combined. Cook for 1 minute, until the broth has begun to thicken up and add the heavy cream. Cook the sauce until it begins to thicken 3-4 minutes. Once it can coat the back of a spoon add the herbs, mix and simmer for 2 minutes.
- Add the salmon back in and cook to desired doneness (no more than 5-7 minutes). Serve immediately.
