Ingredients
Units
Scale
- 1 tablespoon butter or olive oil
- Tony’s Spice N’ Herbs Seasoning, to taste
- Italian seasoning, to taste
- 1 tablespoon paprika
- 6 salmon fillets (6 ounces each)
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1/2 cup chicken broth
- Juice of one lemon
- 1 teaspoon cornstarch
- 1 tablespoon water
- 1 tablespoon fresh dill, chopped
Instructions
- Cook the Salmon: Heat butter or olive oil in a skillet over medium-low heat. Season the salmon fillets with Tony’s Spice N’ Herbs Seasoning, Italian seasoning, and paprika. Add the salmon to the skillet, skin side down. Cook for about 5 minutes, then flip the salmon and cook for another 3 minutes, or until browned and cooked through. Remove the salmon from the skillet and set aside.
- Prepare the Sauce: In the same skillet, add the minced garlic and cook until fragrant. Stir in the heavy cream, chicken broth, and lemon juice. Bring to a simmer. In a small bowl, whisk together cornstarch and water to create a slurry. Stir the slurry into the sauce to thicken it. Season the sauce with Tony’s Spice N’ Herbs Seasoning and add the chopped dill. Let simmer for 3-4 minutes, or until the sauce has thickened.
- Finish the Dish: Return the salmon to the skillet and heat through in the sauce. Garnish with additional fresh dill and lemon before serving.
Notes
- You can substitute the chicken broth with vegetable broth for a pescatarian-friendly option.
- For a spicier kick, add a pinch of cayenne pepper to the seasoning mix or sauce.
- If you prefer a thicker sauce, let it simmer for a few more minutes before adding the salmon back in.
- Serve with steamed vegetables or over a bed of rice for a complete meal.
