Description
This creamy lemon salmon recipe is decadent yet easy with very few ingredients and is ready in only 20 minutes! The bright lemon cream sauce is really addictive.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 pound fresh salmon (cut into 4 pieces)
- 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
- Salt & pepper (to taste)
- Flour (for dredging)
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 tablespoon butter
- 1/2 cup chicken broth
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 1/4 teaspoon Italian seasoning
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- 1 cup heavy/whipping cream
- Fresh parsley (to taste, chopped)
Instructions
- Step 1: Cut your salmon into 4 pieces. Sprinkle it with the garlic powder and season with salt & pepper. Dredge each piece in flour on all sides.
- Step 2: Add the olive oil and butter to a skillet over medium-high heat. When it’s hot, add the fish. Cook it for 3-4 minutes/side or until it’s nicely browned. Remove salmon to a plate and set aside.
- Step 3: Add the chicken broth, lemon juice, Italian seasoning, and Dijon mustard to the pan. Stir until mustard has dissolved, and let it bubble for a minute or two.
- Step 4: Add the cream to the pan, along with the salmon. Let it cook for a few more minutes until the sauce has thickened a bit and the fish has cooked through.
- Step 5: Sprinkle with fresh parsley before serving.
Notes
Use full-fat heavy cream to prevent the sauce from curdling due to the citrus juice.
