Salmon Meuniere

A preparation that's normally used for sole, the buttery lemon flavors also complement salmon quite well. Take care not to overcook the fish. The directions given are for 1-inch thick salmon pieces; adjust the time according for thinner or thicker pieces. This makes enough sauce to lightly drizzle over the salmon. If you like a lot of sauce, double the sauce ingredients.

Ingredients

  • 4 (4 ounce) center-cut salmon fillets, with skin

  • salt and ground black pepper to taste

  • ¼ cup all-purpose flour

  • 1 tablespoon butter

  • 1 tablespoon olive oil

For Sauce:

  • 3 tablespoons butter

  • 2 tablespoons lemon juice

  • 1 teaspoon lemon zest

  • 1 tablespoon minced fresh parsley

Directions

  1. Preheat the oven to 200 degrees F (95 degrees C).

  2. Season salmon with salt and pepper. Place flour in a small dish and lightly dredge the salmon pieces, shaking off any excess.

  3. Heat butter and oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Place salmon, flesh-side down, into the pan and brown for 3 minutes. Gently flip pieces over and cook an additional 3 minutes. Remove salmon to a plate and keep warm in the oven. Wipe out the skillet with a paper towel.

  4. Return the skillet to medium-high heat. Melt butter for sauce, then whisk in lemon juice and lemon zest. Cook and stir until warmed and slightly reduced, 1 to 2 minutes. Remove from heat and stir in parsley. Drizzle sauce over salmon and serve.
