SALMON WITH TARRAGON-LEEK SAUCE
Steps:
- Melt 4 tablespoons butter in large skillet over medium-low heat. Add leeks and sauté until soft and transparent, about 15 minutes. Add vermouth and boil over high heat until liquid is reduced to 2 tablespoons, about 5 minutes. Add cream and boil until thickened to sauce consistency, about 2 minutes. Stir in 1/4 cup parsley and tarragon. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Remove from heat, cover to keep warm.
- Sprinkle salmon with salt and pepper. Dust salmon lightly with flour. Melt 2 tablespoons butter in each of 2 non-stick skillets over medium-high heat. Add 4 salmon fillets to each skillet and cook until opaque in center, about 3 minutes per side.
- Transfer salmon to plates. Spoon sauce over salmon. Sprinkle with additional parsley and serve.
Tips:
- Selecting the Right Salmon: Opt for wild-caught salmon whenever possible, as it tends to be leaner and more flavorful than farm-raised salmon.
- Achieving Perfect Salmon Doneness: To ensure your salmon is cooked perfectly, aim for an internal temperature of 145°F (63°C) for medium-rare, 150°F (66°C) for medium, and 155°F (68°C) for medium-well.
- Making the Tarragon Cream Sauce: To enhance the flavor of the sauce, use fresh tarragon leaves and heavy cream. If you don't have heavy cream on hand, you can substitute it with a mixture of milk and butter.
- Balancing the Sauce and Salmon: To prevent the sauce from overpowering the salmon, aim for a 1:1 ratio of sauce to salmon. You can adjust the amount of sauce according to your preference.
- Serving Suggestions: Pair your salmon with roasted vegetables, mashed potatoes, or a fresh salad for a complete and satisfying meal.
Conclusion:
The combination of tender, flaky salmon and the rich, aromatic tarragon cream sauce creates a dish that is both elegant and comforting. With its vibrant flavors and ease of preparation, this recipe is sure to impress your dinner guests. Whether you're a seasoned chef or a home cook looking for a special occasion dish, this salmon with tarragon cream sauce is guaranteed to be a hit. So, gather your ingredients, put on your apron, and prepare to indulge in a culinary delight that will leave your taste buds wanting more.
