Description

A luxurious dish featuring salmon fillets cooked in a creamy garlic sauce, perfect for impressing guests.


Ingredients

  • 4 salmon fillets
  • 2 tablespoons butter
  • 4 cloves garlic (minced)
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • Salt to taste
  • Black pepper to taste
  • 2 tablespoons lemon juice
  • Fresh parsley (for garnish)


Instructions

  1. In a skillet, melt butter over medium heat.
  2. Add minced garlic and sauté until fragrant.
  3. Season the salmon fillets with salt and pepper, then place them in the skillet, cooking for about 5-6 minutes on each side.
  4. Once cooked, pour in the heavy cream and lemon juice, stirring to combine.
  5. Let the sauce simmer for a few minutes until it thickens slightly.
  6. Serve the salmon garnished with fresh parsley, alongside rice, pasta, or veggies.

Notes

Check the doneness of salmon by using a fork; it should flake easily when fully cooked. For extra flavor, consider incorporating herbs like dill or thyme.
