Salmon steaks with creamy herbed sauce is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that combines the rich flavors of salmon with the tangy and creamy texture of herbed cream cheese. Perfect for a quick weeknight dinner or a special occasion, this recipe will impress your family and guests.
Ingredients:
Instructions:
- Pat the salmon steaks dry with a paper towel to remove any excess moisture. Season both sides lightly with salt and pepper.
- Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
- Once the oil is hot, add the salmon steaks to the skillet, skin-side down if applicable. Cook for about 4-5 minutes on one side without moving them. This will ensure a nice, crispy exterior.
- Flip the salmon steaks and cook for an additional 4-5 minutes, or until the salmon is just cooked through and flakes easily with a fork. Cooking times may vary depending on the thickness of the salmon steaks.
- Remove the salmon from the skillet and set aside, keeping them warm.
- In the same skillet, reduce the heat to medium and add the minced garlic. Sauté for about 1 minute, or until fragrant, making sure not to burn it.
- Add the cream cheese to the skillet and stir until it begins to melt and combines with the garlic.
- Sprinkle in the spice mix and continue to stir until the mixture is well combined and creamy. This should take about 2-3 minutes. If the sauce appears too thick, you can add a splash of water or milk to reach your desired consistency.
- Return the salmon steaks to the skillet, spooning some of the sauce over the top.
- Cook for an additional 1-2 minutes to ensure the salmon is well-coated and heated through.
- Serve immediately, spooning extra creamy herbed sauce over the salmon. Pair with your choice of sides, such as steamed vegetables or rice.
Tips:
- Pat the salmon steaks dry before cooking to ensure a nice sear and crispy edges.
- To enhance the flavor, marinate the salmon in a little lemon juice and olive oil for 30 minutes before cooking.
- Use fresh herbs in the cream cheese mixture for a more vibrant and aromatic flavor.
- Be careful not to overcook the salmon. It should be slightly pink in the center for the best texture.
- Serve the salmon steaks with a side of steamed vegetables or a fresh garden salad to balance the richness of the dish.
Salmon steaks with creamy herbed sauce is a fantastic dish that is sure to satisfy your taste buds. The combination of succulent salmon and flavorful cream cheese creates a meal that is both elegant and comforting.
