Ingredients

• 4 pieces Salmon fillets (skinless)
• 2 tablespoons Sweet paprika
• 1 teaspoon Smoked paprika
• 1.5 teaspoons Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Ground black pepper
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter
• 1 piece Onion (medium, finely chopped)
• 4 cloves Garlic cloves (minced)
• 1 cup Chicken or vegetable broth
• 0.5 cup Sour cream
• 1 tablespoon All-purpose flour
• 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley (chopped, for garnish)
• 4 servings Egg noodles or rice (cooked, for serving)

Directions

Step 1

Pat the salmon fillets dry with paper towels and season both sides with 1 teaspoon of salt and the ground black pepper.

Step 2

Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the salmon fillets and sear for 2-3 minutes per side, until golden brown. Remove the fillets and set aside.

Step 3

Reduce the heat to medium and add the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil and butter to the same skillet. Once melted, add the finely chopped onion and sauté for 5-7 minutes until soft and translucent.

Step 4

Stir in the minced garlic and sauté for an additional 30 seconds until fragrant.

Step 5

Add the sweet paprika, smoked paprika, and remaining 0.5 teaspoon of salt to the skillet. Stir well to coat the onions and garlic in the spices.

Step 6

Pour in the chicken or vegetable broth, scraping the bottom of the skillet to deglaze any browned bits. Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer.

Step 7

While the broth is heating, mix the sour cream with the all-purpose flour in a small bowl to create a smooth paste. Slowly stir this mixture into the skillet, ensuring the sauce becomes creamy and thickened.

Step 8

Place the seared salmon fillets back into the skillet, spooning some of the sauce on top. Cover the skillet with a lid and let the salmon simmer in the sauce for 8-10 minutes, until cooked through and flaky.

Step 9

Taste the sauce and adjust seasoning if needed. Garnish with freshly chopped parsley.

Step 10

Serve hot over a bed of egg noodles or rice, generously topped with the paprikish sauce.
