Baked Salmon with Lemon Butter Cream Sauce: An Incredible Ultimate Recipe


  • Author: Luna
  • Total Time: 35 minutes

Ingredients

– 4 salmon fillets (approximately 6 ounces each)
– 2 tablespoons olive oil
– Salt and pepper, to taste
– 1 cup heavy cream
– 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
– 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
– Zest of 1 lemon
– 2 cloves garlic, minced
– 1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
– Lemon wedges, for serving


Instructions

Creating Baked Salmon with Lemon Butter Cream Sauce is a breeze if you follow these steps:

1. Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).

2. Prepare the Salmon: Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Place the salmon fillets skin-side down on the sheet. Drizzle with olive oil and season with salt and pepper.

3. Bake the Salmon: Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the salmon is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork.

4. Make the Lemon Butter Cream Sauce: While the salmon is baking, melt the butter in a saucepan over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant.

5. Add Cream and Lemon: Pour in the heavy cream and stir well. Add the lemon juice and zest, stirring to combine. Allow the sauce to simmer for about 5 minutes until it thickens slightly.

6. Season the Sauce: Taste the sauce and adjust the seasoning with salt and pepper as needed.

7. Serve the Salmon: Once the salmon is done baking, remove it from the oven. Drizzle the lemon butter cream sauce over the salmon fillets.

8. Garnish: Sprinkle fresh parsley on top for a pop of color and flavor. Serve with lemon wedges on the side.
