→ Seasonings & Garnish
06 -
Sea salt and black pepper, freshly ground, adjust to taste
07 -
2 tablespoons olive oil
08 -
Fresh parsley, chopped up, about 2 tablespoons
09 -
Lemon slices, fresh, to decorate your dish
# Instructions:
01 -
Turn your oven on to 375°F (190°C) to preheat. Give your baking dish a quick coating with olive oil so the fish doesn't stick.
02 -
Put your fillets of salmon into the oiled dish. Give them a nice sprinkle of salt and pepper. This will bring out the natural taste of the salmon.
03 -
Add olive oil to a pan and heat it on medium. Toss in the minced garlic and let it sizzle until it's fragrant, about a minute or so.
04 -
Stir in your butter, lemon juice, and cream. Let this slowly bubble on low heat, stirring now and then, until it thickens into a smooth sauce.
05 -
Drizzle the creamy sauce all over the salmon in the dish. Make sure every piece gets covered with the sauce you made.
06 -
Pop the dish in the oven for 15 to 20 minutes. The fish will be done when it's tender, moist, and flakes with a fork.
07 -
Sprinkle freshly chopped parsley over the top and place some lemon slices neatly around. Serve while the sauce is still creamy and warm.
# Notes:
01 -
Goes great with roasted veggies or some steamed asparagus.
02 -
Let your salmon sit at room temperature before cooking for better results.
