Making your own sauces
I am a big fan of preparing sauces myself. It's very easy and also much tastier than sauces from a jar or packet. Somehow it has become ingrained in many people's minds that making sauces yourself is difficult and takes a lot of time. This is absolutely not the case. You simply have most of the ingredients of this sauce on hand and it takes very little effort. You will find that using a homemade sauce will really take your dish to the next level.
What you need:
2
2 salmon fillets à 125 gr
1 lemon
1 white onion
70 gr Parmesan cheese
150 ml dry white wine
150 ml of cooking cream
30 gr butter
1 tsp garlic powder
fresh chives
olive oil
salt and pepper
What to do:
1
Pat the salmon fillets dry with a piece of kitchen paper. Sprinkle both sides with a pinch of salt and pepper.
2
Heat some olive oil in a pan and place the salmon fillets skin side down in the pan. Fry for about 3 minutes on each side until the salmon is nicely cooked. Then remove from the pan and set aside.
3
Chop the onion and chop very finely.
4
Heat the butter in a pan and add the onion to it. Fry until translucent. Now add the cooking cream, wine, the garlic powder, a generous pinch of salt and pepper and the juice of the lemon. Also add a little rind from the lemon. Mix well and reduce gently. Taste the sauce and add additional seasonings to taste.
5
Finely chop the chives and add along with 3/4 of the Parmesan. Stir well and turn the heat down to low. Add the salmon back to the pan and cook for a few more minutes.
6
Serve the salmon fillets with extra Parmesan and fresh chives.
