Ingredients
Ingredients
- 500 g Salmon fillets
- 15 ml Olive oil for cooking
- 30 g Butter unsalted
- 3 cloves Garlic minced
- 150 ml Cream heavy cream preferred
- 5 g Italian herbs or Tuscan herbs
- 100 g Optional greens or tomatoes for brightness
Instructions
- Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Pat the salmon fillets dry and season lightly with salt and pepper.
- Add the salmon to the skillet, skin-side down, and cook for about 6-8 minutes until the skin is crispy. Carefully flip and cook for another 4-6 minutes or until the salmon is cooked through.
- Remove the salmon from the skillet and set aside. In the same skillet, melt the butter over low heat and add the minced garlic. Cook until fragrant, about 1 minute.
- Whisk in the cream and Italian herbs, then let it simmer for 2-5 minutes until slightly thickened. Add the salmon back to the skillet and let it coat in the sauce for 2 minutes.
- Serve the salmon drizzled with the creamy garlic sauce. Garnish with optional greens or tomatoes.
Notes
Tip: If you want a crispy finish, consider putting the salmon under a broiler for 1-2 minutes after cooking.
