SALMON WITH CREAMY GARLIC SAUCE

▢ 10 ml olive oil
▢ 300 g salmon fillets skin on or off
▢ 1 g salt to taste
▢ 0.5 g pepper to taste
▢ 1.5 g garlic powder
▢ 20 g unsalted butter
▢ 3 cloves garlic minced
▢ 62.5 ml dry white wine or chicken broth
▢ 187.5 ml reduced fat cream
▢ 25 g parmesan cheese fresh grated
▢ 5 g fresh parsley chopped
▢ 10 ml lemon juice ½ lemon

INSTRUCTIONS

Heat oil a large skillet over medium-high heat. Season salmon with salt, pepper and garlic powder all over. Sear in the hot pan, flesh-side down first, for 5 minutes on each side, or until cooked to your liking. Once cooked, remove from the pan and set aside.

Melt the butter in the same skillet. Sauté garlic until fragrant (about 30 seconds). Pour in the white wine or broth; allow to reduce to half while scraping any bits off of the bottom of the pan.

Reduce heat to low-medium heat, add the cream and bring to a gentle simmer, while stirring occasionally. Season with salt and pepper to your taste.

Add the parmesan cheese and allow sauce to gently simmer for a further minute or so until the cheese melts and sauce thickens.

Add the salmon back into the pan, sprinkle with parsley and a squeeze of lemon juice. Taste test sauce and adjust salt and pepper, if needed.
Serve over pasta, rice or steamed veg.

How delicious do these fish tacos look? 🌮 This recipe uses cod but any solid white fish- haddock, halibut for example would work. With soaring temperatures, ☀️ these are a perfect light dish and so refreshing 🍋‍🟩🍋

An unusual but simple and delicious recipe for you to try. Breaded Plaice with Banana

Get two thick skinless plaice fillets. Coat them in 200g melted butter and 200g white breadcrumbs. Pop them in the fridge to allow the butter to set. Slice a banana lengthways and pop in the fridge to cool. Then heat a little oil in a pan, add the banana halves until golden brown, then remove. Add the plaice fillets topside down (this is the presentation side) and cook until you see colour, then turn. Now place the banana on top of the fillets and coat with 2 generous spoonfuls of mango chutney, ensuring some also runs over the fish. Place under a grill for two minutes.

Plate up, squeeze the juice of half a lemon over and serve with potatoes and vegetables of your choice, or simply top with salad leaves.
