Seared Salmon in Lemon Wine Sauce
This elegant, restaurant-quality dish is surprisingly simple to make at home. With just a handful of fresh ingredients and the right cookware, you can create perfectly seared salmon topped with a vibrant lemon wine sauce and cherry tomatoes. Whether you're celebrating a special occasion or just elevating a weeknight dinner, this dish delivers bold flavor with minimal effort.
Directions
- Heat up a 10" or 12" skillet with about 3 tablespoons of olive oil on medium heat.
- While the oil is heating up, season the skin side of the salmon fillets with ½ teaspoon of salt and fresh cracked pepper. Place the salmon in the hot pan, skin side down. Cook for about 3-5 minutes until skin is golden brown and crispy. While the skin side is getting brown, season the other side of the salmon with ½ teaspoon of kosher salt and fresh cracked pepper.
- Flip the salmon and brown the other side for about another 3-4 minutes on mediumheat. Then, add in the cherry tomatoes, white wine, and lemon. Let simmer for a couple of minutes to create a sauce. You can drizzle more olive oil at this point, if desired.
- Add the chopped parsley and serve over pasta, rice, quinoa or steamed vegetables.
