Our Tips
Chef's tips for making this recipe
Do not overcook: Salmon is better when it remains slightly pink inside. Overcooked, it becomes dry.
A more flavorful sauceUse a hot pan: This allows for a beautiful golden and savory crust.
Deglazing for more flavorStart with the skin side first: If your salmon has skin, start cooking it with the skin side down so that it becomes crispy.
Perfect accompanimentsAdd cheese: A little parmesan or fresh cheese like Boursin in the cream for even more richness.
Play with herbs: Dill, tarragon or chives delightfully enhance the cream.
Add lemon zest: For a touch of freshness and spice.
A bit of mustard: A tablespoon of old-fashioned mustard gives a subtle and delicious taste.
White wine or lemon? If you don't have white wine, lemon juice works very well to balance the cream's fat.
Gourmet option: Deglaze with a splash of cognac or whiskey for a deeper flavor.
Steamed vegetables: Asparagus, green beans or zucchini for a light dish.
Fresh pasta or tagliatelles: The sauce mixes perfectly with them.
Basmati or wild rice: Ideal for absorbing the creamy sauce.
