Pan Seared Salmon with Lemon Butter Sauce

Ingredients:
- 2-4 salmon fillets (180g per fillet)
- 1/3 cup (75g) butter
- 2 tablespoons fresh Lemon juice
- Lemon zest
- 2/3 cup (160ml) White wine – optional /or chicken broth
- 1/2 cup (120ml) Heavy cream
- 2 tablespoons chopped parsley
- Salt
- Black pepper
Directions:
- Remove the skin from salmon fillets. Season with salt and pepper.
- Melt butter over medium-low heat. Fry the salmon on both sides until golden, about 3-4 minutes from each side.
- Add to the pan white wine, lemon juice, lemon zest and heavy cream. Cook the salmon in the sauce for about 3 minutes and remove from the pan.
- Season the sauce with salt and pepper. Add chopped parsley and stir. Reduce sauce by half until thick.
- Serve the salmon and pour the sauce over the salmon.
Notes:
- In the video you can see me cooking only 2 salmon pieces, but this recipe serves 4. You can cook 4 pieces once in a large pan or in two batches, then divide the too.
- Serve the sauce immediately.
