Ingredients

• 4 pieces Salmon fillets
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 0.5 cup Dry white wine
• 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
• 0.25 cup Heavy cream
• 1 medium (finely chopped) Shallot
• 1 tablespoon Unsalted butter
• 2 tablespoons (chopped) Fresh parsley

Directions

Step 1

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

Step 2

Heat a large skillet over medium heat and add the olive oil. Once the oil is hot, place the salmon fillets skin-side down in the skillet and cook for 4-5 minutes until the skin is crispy. Carefully flip the fillets and cook for another 3-4 minutes until the salmon is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork. Remove the salmon from the skillet and set aside on a plate.

Step 3

In the same skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the finely chopped shallot and sauté for 2-3 minutes until softened and fragrant.

Step 4

Pour in the dry white wine, stirring to scrape up any browned bits from the bottom of the pan. Let the wine simmer for 3-4 minutes, reducing by half.

Step 5

Whisk in the Dijon mustard and heavy cream until fully combined. Let the sauce simmer for 2-3 minutes, thickening slightly.

Step 6

Return the cooked salmon fillets to the skillet and spoon the sauce over them. Heat for 1-2 minutes to warm the salmon through.

Step 7

Garnish with freshly chopped parsley and serve immediately. Pair with steamed vegetables, rice, or a side of roasted potatoes for a complete meal.
