Ingredients
  

Main ingredients
  • 1 pound Salmon Fillets (boneless) Feel free to substitute with other fish like tilapia.
  • 4 cloves Fresh Garlic (minced) Consider using garlic powder if needed.
  • 1 cup Heavy Cream Substitute with coconut cream for a dairy-free option.
  • 2 tablespoons Lemon Juice Lime juice can be used as an alternative.
  • 2 tablespoons Olive Oil Can substitute with avocado oil.
  • 1 tablespoon Chopped Parsley Basil or green onions make excellent alternatives.
  • to taste Salt and Pepper Season according to your preference.

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Cut salmon fillets into one-inch cubes, pat dry, and season with salt and pepper.
  2. In a skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat and sauté minced garlic until fragrant.
  3. Add salmon cubes to the skillet and cook for about 3 minutes on each side until golden brown.
Sauce and Serving
  1. Remove salmon from the skillet; add heavy cream and lemon juice to the same skillet, scraping up any bits from cooking.
  2. Allow the sauce to simmer until slightly thickened (around 2 minutes), then return salmon to the skillet and toss gently with chopped parsley.
  3. Serve immediately, drizzling any remaining sauce over the top.

Notes

Use a non-stick skillet and keep the heat moderate to avoid burning the garlic. Allow leftover salmon to cool before storing in an airtight container. They will stay fresh in the refrigerator for up to three days. While salmon generally doesn’t freeze well, you can freeze the garlic cream sauce separately.
