Pan-Seared Salmon with a Mint Pistachio Cream Sauce
- 2 Tablespoons Butter
- 2 whole Fresh Salmon Fillets (single Serving Size Fillets)
- 1 pinch Coarse Salt And Freshly Ground Pepper
- 1 Tablespoon All-purpose Flour
- 1 cup Heavy Cream
- 2 Tablespoons Fresh Lemon Juice
- 2 teaspoons Freshly Chopped Mint (or More!)
- 1/4 cups (or More) Chopped Pistachios
- Heat the butter in a large skillet over medium high.
- Season both sides of the salmon with salt and pepper and sear it in the pan for 3 minutes on one side.
- Flip and sear 2 more minutes on the other side.
- Remove salmon from skillet and cover to keep warm.
- Back in the skillet, add the flour to the melted butter that remains in the pan and whisk until smooth, about a minute.
- Add the cream and lemon juice.
- Continue to whisk as it thickens, maybe 3 more minutes if that.
- Add the chopped mint and a pinch of salt and pepper to the sauce.
- Taste it.
- Yum!
- Serve salmon with a good and I mean good drizzle of the cream sauce.
- Sprinkle the chopped pistachios over the the dish and serve with a steamed veggie, like snow peas.
- You dont EVEN know.
- * The sauce makes enough for 4 salmon fillets.
- So you could either sear up more fish, or cut the sauce in half if its just the two of you.
- Or keep the sauce as is and stick a straw in it.
- We clearly know the right answer here.
