Ingredients

3 shallots, very finely chopped

1 1/2 oz. butter

Zest and juice of 1 1/2 lemons

1 1/2 generous teaspoons garlic powder

1 1/2 generous teaspoons onion powder

2 1/2 generous teaspoons Italian style dried herb mix

1 1/2 hot chicken stock

1 1/2 generous teaspoons chicken bouillon granules

Juice of another lemon, a smallish one

1 1/2 generous teaspoon cornstarch

1 1/2 tablespoons parsley, finely chopped

More chicken stock if needed

2 tablespoons bland flavoured oil (I used groundnut)

4 good sized salmon fillets

Lemon wedges to serve

Parsley to garnish

Directions

Heat butter in a frying pan.

Add the shallots and saute gently until soft but not browned, about 5-7 minutes.

Add lemon zest and stir in well. Cook briefly.

Add the garlic powder, onion powder and dried herbs. Stir in well and cook gently for half a minute or so.

Add the lemon juice and chicken stock, and add the bouillon granules. Stir well, turn up the heat and reduce the liquid a bit.

Transfer to a saucepan. Bring back up to the simmer.

Make a slurry with the lemon juice and the cornstarch. Add to the sauce and cook until thickened.

Add the parsley and stir well in.

Turn off the heat and set aside while cooking the salmon.

Wipe out the frying pan.

Add the oil and heat.

Put in the salmon fillets and pan fry on a low-medium heat, turning once, till just done - about 15-20 minutes total depending on thickness.

Just before salmon is ready to serve, reheat the sauce. Add more stock if it is too thick.

Put the salmon on the plates and pour over the fish juices from the pan. Then pour over the sauce.

Serve with plain boiled new potatoes and veg of choice, and garnish with lemon wedge and parsley.
