This recipe is so easy!! I have made the garlic herb butter for years. I experimented with the butter and skinless salmon filets. My friend loved the leftovers and asked for the recipe so I thought I would share it. Ingredients:
4 salmon steaks (skin removed) |
5 tablespoons garlic butter (recipe below) |
1 small onion, diced |
1 garlic clove, minced |
2 lemons, juice of or 1/4 cup bottled lemon juice |
kosher salt |
pepper |
1/4-1/2 cup heavy whipping cream or 1/4-1/2 cup milk |
1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened |
2 garlic cloves, finely minced |
1/2 teaspoon paprika |
1/8 teaspoon black pepper |
1 teaspoon dried basil |
1 teaspoon dried oregano |
1/4 teaspoon kosher salt |
Directions:
1. For butter, mix all ingredients in a food processor or by hand with a rubber spatula and store covered in the refrigerator until ready to use.
2. Salt and pepper both sides of salmon.
3. Melt butter in non-stick pan. Saute onion and garlic until soft, approximately 3-4 minutes.
4. Add salmon steaks to the pan, pushing onions and garlic to the side and around the salmon. Cook salmon approximately 4-5 minutes and then flip.
5. Add the lemon juice, squeezing over the salmon as it cooks.
6. Cook salmon an additional 4-5 minutes or until it flakes easily. Remove salmon from the pan and keep warm.
7. Add another 2-3 Tablespoons of butter to the pan. Allow to melt before adding cream or milk.
8. Bring butter/onion/milk mixture to a simmer. Simmer 1 - 2 minutes until slightly thickened. Pour over salmon steaks and serve. Garnish with parsley if desired.
