- 20 minutes to make
- Serves 4
No, not a reference to a recipe gone wrong, but the result of having to make dinner with the ingredients I could muster, half the kitchen off limits due to a small mishap. Simple juicy pan-fried salmon fillets, in a tangy lemon and herb sauce.
Ingredients
- 3 shallots, very finely chopped shopping list
- 1 1/2 oz. butter shopping list
- Zest and juice of 1 1/2 lemons shopping list
- 1 1/2 generous teaspoons garlic powder shopping list
- 1 1/2 generous teaspoons onion powder shopping list
- 2 1/2 generous teaspoons Italian style dried herb mix shopping list
- 1 1/2 pints hot chicken stock shopping list
- 1 1/2 generous teaspoons chicken bouillon granules shopping list
- juice of another lemon, a smallish one shopping list
- 1 1/2 generous teaspoon cornstarch shopping list
- 1 1/2 tablespoons parsley, finely chopped shopping list
- More chicken stock if needed shopping list
- 2 tablespoons bland flavoured oil (I used groundnut) shopping list
- 4 good sized salmon fillets shopping list
- lemon wedges to serve shopping list
- parsley to garnish shopping list
How to make it
- 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. See Photo
- 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. See Photo
- Cook your veg of choice. See Photo
- 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. See Photo
- Then get someone else to do the washing-up. See Photo
