Steps:
- Season: Pat salmon dry, then sprinkle with salt and pepper.
- Pan-sear: Heat oil in a large non stick skillet over medium high heat. Add salmon, presentation side down, and cook for 3 minutes until golden brown.
- Flip: Turn salmon and cook the other side for another 2 minutes, until the internal temperature registers 49°C / 120°F (for medium-rare, recommended) or until cooked to your taste (Note 5).
- Butter baste: When it's almost cooked, add the butter. Melt, then spoon over the salmon a few times.
- Rest: Remove salmon onto plate, and cover loosely with foil to keep warm.
- Sauté garlic: Add garlic and stir for 20 seconds or until light golden.
- Reduce wine: Add white wine, turn up heat to high. Bring to simmer while stirring base of the pan to dissolve all the golden bits into the sauce. Cook 1 minute or until it most evaporates and the wine-y smell is gone.
- Thicken cream & stock: Add cream and chicken stock, then simmer on medium heat for 2 - 3 minutes until reduced and slightly thickened.
- Add parmesan & herbs: Stir through parmesan (this will thicken sauce more), then the herbs. Taste sauce and see if more salt and pepper is needed.
- Serve: Serve salmon with Creamy Sauce, ensuring there's something on the plate to soak up all that amazing sauce! Mashed Potato rates highly. See above video for list of suggestions (including side salads).

SLOW-ROASTED SALMON WITH HERB SAUCE
"This dish utilizes a really simple technique of roasting salmon at a very low temperature," says Jerry Traunfeld. "I pair it with a white wine and butter sauce and top it with rough chopped herbs. It's an especially great recipe if you have an herb garden, but you can easily prepare it with herbs from the supermarket."

Steps:
- Prepare the salmon for roasting: Preheat oven to 225 degrees F. Remove the salmon skin by cutting a flap of skin from the tail end. Hold the skin with a kitchen towel for a good grip, then hold the knife at a 30-degree angle downward to the cutting board between the skin and the flesh. Move the towel back and forth so the knife cuts through the salmon without cutting off much of the flesh. Using tweezers or needle-nose pliers, pull out any small bones left in the salmon, then cut fillet into 4 even slices at an angle. Place salmon fillets into a shallow roasting pan, drizzle with olive oil, and sprinkle with sea salt. Rub the fish with the oil to evenly coat, then place on a parchment-lined rimmed baking sheet. Bake 15-20 minutes, checking after 10 minutes. Note: If the fish is cold from the refrigerator, let it come to room temp, about 30 minutes, before baking.
- Make the beurre blanc sauce and prepare the herbs: In a medium saucepan, add the shallot, white wine, and lemon juice. Bring to a boil, then reduce to a simmer and cook until liquid has reduced by half. While the liquid is reducing, chop the herbs. Any combination of herbs will work as long as they're chopped roughly (not finely), to preserve their character and flavor. Once the liquid has reduced, whisk in the butter, one piece at a time, to thicken the sauce.
- Finish the sauce and assemble the dish: Salmon is cooked when it's flaking apart gently and no longer raw in the middle. Set aside. Finish the sauce by pouring it into a blender to break up the shallots and create a better emulsion with the butter. Pour back into the pan over low heat and add the herbs. Place a salmon fillet on a serving plate, ladle herb sauce on top. Garnish with the additional fresh herbs and serve.

ROCKIN' SALMON WITH CREAMY HERB SAUCE
This recipe went over big-time with guests that do not enjoy fish! The very finely minced red onions lend a slight crunch and the capers explode with each bite adding a salty balance to the sweet herby mustard sauce that covers the delicate fish. This recipe uses fresh dill. Quick enough for a weekday meal but delicious enough to serve company. Pair it with steamed vegetables or homemade coleslaw and a baked potato for a complete meal. This recipe was created for RSC #10. Good luck to all the entrants!
