Pan seared salmon and creamed leeks<\/p><\/div>\n

If you enjoy simple and delicious dishes to serve when hosting friends, pan-seared salmon on a bed of creamed leeks <\/strong>is an excellent option. These salmon steaks won\u2019t take much time to prepare, yet they deliver a beautifully flavorful plate. Salmon and leeks pair wonderfully together, making this dish quick, elegant, and satisfying.<\/p>\n

I had already shared my creamed leeks<\/a>  recipe with you, and today I\u2019d like to offer a dish that pairs perfectly with it. In our home, we often enjoy salmon , for Christmas Eve or a special occasion, I usually prepare a whole baked salmon with a seafood cream sauce. It\u2019s a dish that always brings joy to the table.

Cooking salmon is very simple and takes just a few minutes. One-sided (unilateral) cooking is perfect for salmon steaks.<\/p>\n

This cooking method involves cooking on one side only. I still seared the salmon on the flesh side over a high heat before cooking it on the other side.<\/p>\n

Ingredients:<\/h2>\n

NB:<\/b> You can print out the recipe card at the end of the article. <\/span><\/p>\n

    \n
  • 4 salmon steaks, skin on one side (150 g each)<\/li>\n
  • 600 g leeks<\/li>\n
  • 3 small shallots or a white onion<\/li>\n
  • 75 g butter<\/li>\n
  • 200 ml heavy  cream<\/li>\n
  • salt and pepper<\/li>\n
  • nutmeg<\/li>\n
  • 1 teaspoon mustard (optional)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

    Preparation steps:<\/span><\/strong><\/h2>\n

    Wash the leeks and slice them finely.<\/p>\n

    Saut\u00e9 the chopped onion with butter in a frying pan over low heat, stirring occasionally. The onions should not brown but remain white.<\/p>\n

    Add the leeks and mix well. Cover and cook for about twenty minutes.<\/p>\n

    Add the cream just before serving. You can keep the cooked leeks aside until ready to serve, then add the cream.<\/p>\n

    Let it reduce for about ten minutes, depending on the desired consistency. The creamed leeks will thicken slightly as it cools.<\/p>\n

    \"Salmon<\/p>\n

    Meanwhile, when the creamed leeks is almost ready, cook the salmon steaks.<\/p>\n

    Heat a non-stick frying pan. When hot, place the salmon steaks skin-side up (the pink flesh side down) in the pan. Cook for 30 seconds on high heat, then carefully turn them over. The cooking is done without any added fat.<\/p>\n

    Let them cook skin-side down until the sides take on a uniform color.<\/p>\n

    At the end of cooking, carefully flip the salmon one last time and gently remove the skin.<\/p>\n

    \"one-sided
    \nPlace a spoonful of creamed leeks on each plate and put the salmon steaks on top. Sprinkle with a few pink peppercorns, but this is optional.<\/p>\n

    Serve immediately !<\/p>\n
