Pan Seared Salmon With Lemon White Wine Sauce Food

SALMON WITH CREAMY WHITE WINE SAUCE

Steps:

• Heat the oil over a high heat in a frying pan (skillet).
• Add the salmon, skin-side down and cook for 2 minutes.
• Turn the salmon and cook for a further 2 minutes, until lightly browned, then turn back over so it's skin-side down again.
• Turn the heat down to medium and add the garlic, stir for 30 seconds (no longer or the garlic may burn), then add in the white wine.
• Bring to the boil and allow to bubble for a minute, then add in the chicken stock. Allow to bubble for a further minute.
• Add in the cream, salt, pepper and parmesan and bring back to the boil. Simmer gently for a further 3-4 minutes until slightly thickened.
• Stir in the lemon zest then serve the salmon topped with a sprinkling of fresh parsley. I love to serve mine with baby new potatoes and broccoli too.

WHITE WINE GARLIC SALMON

Steps:

• Heat a large frying pan over high heat and add a splash of canola oil.
• Dry the salmon fillets with paper towel and season generously with salt.
• Carefully place the salmon into the hot pan, skin-side down, and turn down the heat to medium-high. Cook the salmon for 3-4 minutes until the skin is golden brown and crisp then flip over. Cook for another 1-2 minutes on the flesh-side until the salmon is cooked through. Remove from the pan and set aside.
• Melt the butter in the pan and add the garlic. Fry until fragrant then add the wine and lemon juice.
• Allow to simmer and reduce for 4-5 minutes then add the parsley and season to taste.
• Add the salmon back into the pan and baste with the sauce, allowing the salmon to heat back up.
• Serve with extra lemon wedges.

PAN-SEARED SALMON WITH LEMON-WHITE WINE SAUCE

Steps:

• Pre-heat a large skillet over medium high heat. Season the flesh of the fish with whatever seasoning you would prefer, I used Old Bay in this particular instance.
• Add 2 tablespoons olive oil to the pan and heat to shimmering. Add fish skin side down, and allow to crisp up, 4 minutes or so. Turn the heat down to medium. Using a spatula, carefully turn the fish over and finish cooking while crisping up the skin, approximately eight minutes. Check the fish using a fork towards the end of cooking-if it flakes easily, it is done. Do not overcook it, as it will also continue to cook slightly once remove from the pan. Transfer fish to a serving platter.
• In the same skillet, melt 2 tablespoons of butter. Add garlic to the pan and sauté until fragrant, about 30 seconds. Deglaze the pan with the wine, scraping up any browned bits stuck to the bottom of the pan, and add a squeeze or two of the lemon. Simmer until reduced by half and add the lemon zest. Whisk in remaining tablespoon of butter to give the sauce a creamy texture.
• Serve the salmon topped with the sauce.

PAN-SEARED SALMON WITH ARTICHOKES AND WHITE WINE

Steps:

• In a medium skillet, heat the oil over medium-high heat. Season the salmon fillets evenly with the salt and place each fillet flesh-side down in the hot skillet. Cook until deep golden brown, about 3 minutes. Sear the sides of the fillets for 1 minute on each side. Using a fish spatula, flip the fillets so the skin side is down and cook an additional 2 minutes. Add 1 tablespoon of the butter and the oregano sprigs to the skillet and reduce the heat to medium. Baste the salmon fillets with the infused butter for 1 minute. Remove the salmon and oregano sprigs to a plate to rest.
• In the same skillet over medium heat, add the artichoke hearts and shallots. Cook, stirring often with a wooden spoon, until the shallots are softened and the artichokes are beginning to brown, about 4 minutes. Add the chopped oregano and tomatoes and stir to combine. Deglaze the skillet with the white wine and allow the wine to cook down until reduced by half. Stir in the remaining 1 tablespoon butter and the spinach. Cook until the spinach is just barely wilted. Spoon the vegetables onto a platter and top with the rested salmon. Spoon any remaining sauce over the fish and serve.
