Salmon Meuniere Recipe
Ingredients
- Salmon Fillets: You can use fresh salmon fillets for the best flavor.
- All-Purpose Flour: To coat the salmon fillets.
- Butter: For that rich, creamy flavor.
- Olive Oil: To pan-fry the salmon and prevent sticking.
- Lemon Juice: For a zesty kick.
- Fresh Parsley: Chopped for a burst of freshness.
- Salt and Pepper: To season the dish to perfection.
Instructions
- Prepare the Salmon:Start by patting the salmon fillets dry with paper towels. Season them generously with salt and pepper on both sides.
- Coat in Flour:In a shallow bowl, place some all-purpose flour. Gently coat each salmon fillet in the flour, shaking off any excess.
- Heat the Pan:Heat a skillet over medium-high heat and add a drizzle of olive oil. You want the pan to be hot but not smoking.
- Cook the Salmon:Carefully place the floured salmon fillets into the hot skillet. Cook them for about 2-3 minutes on each side, or until they are golden brown and cooked through. The exact cooking time may vary depending on the thickness of your fillets.
- Add Butter and Lemon Juice:Once the salmon is cooked, remove it from the skillet and set it aside. In the same skillet, add a generous tablespoon of butter and a splash of lemon juice. Allow the butter to melt and combine with the lemon juice, creating a rich sauce.
- Finish with Parsley:Stir in the chopped fresh parsley into the sauce. This will add a burst of color and flavor to your Salmon Meunière.
- Serve:Place the cooked salmon fillets on plates, and drizzle the buttery lemon and parsley sauce over them. You can serve your Salmon Meunière with your favorite side dishes like steamed vegetables or rice.
