Note
Choose fresh, high-quality salmon fillets and opt for skin-on or skinless as preferred. For a lighter sauce, substitute half of the heavy cream with milk or half-and-half. Enhance flavor with herbs like thyme or dill, or add sautéed spinach or sun-dried tomatoes. Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to two days, reheating gently. This dish pairs well with rice, mashed potatoes, or steamed vegetables to soak up the creamy sauce. Enjoy!
