Equipment
- Large Skillet
- Air Fryer
- Mixing Bowl
Ingredients
Ingredients
- 600 g Salmon fillets skin-on or skinless
- 50 g Butter unsalted
- 100 ml Cream heavy or dairy-free alternative
- 3 cloves Garlic minced
- 15 ml Olive oil for searing
- 100 g Leafy greens or spinach optional
- 50 g Tomatoes diced, optional
- 1 tsp Salt to taste
- 1 tsp Black pepper to taste
Instructions
- Season the salmon generously and pat it dry before cooking. Heat a skillet over medium-high heat with a bit of olive oil, then sear the salmon skin-side down if you’re using skin-on fillets.
- Cook for about 3–4 minutes per side until the edges start to color and the center is just opaque. Remove and let it rest briefly.
- In a pan, melt butter and add minced garlic, cooking briefly until it smells good. Pour in cream and let it simmer, stirring often, until the sauce thickens enough to coat the back of a spoon.
- Season with salt and pepper, then add any vegetables or greens you’re using. Simmer for 3–5 minutes to blend the flavors.
- Serve the salmon drizzled with the creamy sauce and your choice of sides, like a bright green salad or buttered noodles.
Notes
Tip: Pat the salmon dry, then let it sit for a few minutes at room temperature before cooking.
