Salmon Meunière
Salmon Meunière is a simple, beautiful way to prepare fresh salmon. Using just a few ingredients, fresh lemon and herbs, this Salmon Meunière recipe is ready in about 10 minutes.
Ingredients
- 4 salmon fillets, 3-4 ounces each
- 3 teaspoons all-purpose flour
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 teaspoons avocado oil, or olive oil
- 4 tablespoons butter, salted
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
- juice of 1 lemon
Instructions
- Pat the filets dry on both sides with paper towels. To a shallow plate, add the flour, salt and pepper. Stir to combine. Lightly coat the flesh side of the salmon with the flour mixture. Gently shake off any excess flour.
- Add avocado oil to a large skillet on high heat. Once the oil is hot and sizzling, introduce the salmon, flesh/floured side down.
- Sear for about 3 minutes per side until a golden brown crust forms.
- Remove the salmon from the skillet and allow it to rest while you prepare the buttery pan sauce.
- To the same skillet, add butter and allow to melt brown for about 1 minute over medium heat. Stir with a wooden spoon, scraping the bottom to loosen any browned bits left from the salmon. Add fresh parsley and stir quickly. Add lemon juice and stir again, then remove from heat to prevent the sauce from burning.
- Serve your browned butter sauce over the top of the cooked salmon, garnished with additional lemon slices or a little lemon juice, and fresh herbs like chives.For extra flavor and crunch, sprinkle flaked sea salt over the top.
