Salmon with Broccoli and Cream Sauce

Ingredients

• 4 filets salmon fillets
• 1 head broccoli
• 1 cup heavy cream
• 1 medium red onion
• 2 tbsp fresh dill
• 2 tbsp olive oil
• 1 tsp salt
• ½ tsp black pepper

Instructions

1. 1

   Pat the 4 salmon fillets dry and season both sides with 1/2 tsp salt and 1/4 tsp pepper. Cut the broccoli into small florets and thinly slice the 1 red onion.

2. 2

   Heat 1 tbsp olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high. Add the salmon skin-side down and cook until golden and crisp, about 4-5 minutes. Flip and cook 2-3 minutes more until just opaque. Transfer to a plate.

3. 3

   In the same skillet, add the remaining 1 tbsp olive oil and the sliced red onion. Cook over medium until softened, about 3 minutes.

4. 4

   Add the broccoli florets and 1/4 cup water. Cover and steam until broccoli is bright green and tender-crisp, about 4-5 minutes.

5. 5

   Pour in the 1 cup heavy cream and the remaining 1/2 tsp salt and 1/4 tsp pepper. Stir and simmer until the sauce thickens slightly, about 2-3 minutes.

6. 6

   Return the salmon to the skillet, spooning sauce over the top. Simmer gently for 1-2 minutes to warm through.

7. 7

   Sprinkle with the 2 tbsp chopped fresh dill and serve hot.
