Ingredients

3 Salmon fillet(200 gms each)

Salt & pepper as per taste 

2 tsp Olive oil

3 tbsp butter

250 ml heavy cream

3 tbs minced garlic

4 tbsp finely chopped parsley 

2 tbsp lemon juice (add more if needed)

Method

Clean the salmon, pat dry, season with salt & pepper, in a pan add olive oil & pan-sear the salmon fillets for 4-5 minutes on the skin side & 3 minutes on the other side. Keep them aside. 

In the same pan add butter, after the butter melts add the crushed garlic, cook until fragrant for about a minute, add the cream & bring it to a gentle simmer while stirring occasionally, add lemon juice, salt & pepper.

Add the salmon back into the pan, sprinkle with 3 tbsp finely chopped parsley, and spoon the sauce over each fillet.

Grilled potatoes 

I used 8 red baby potatoes. Wash the potatoes well, remove the dirt, pat dry and add them to a grilling dish/ plate. Rub olive oil, garlic salt, pepper and put in a pre heated oven for 30 minutes. After the potatoes are grilled tip them on a plate and crush them lightly until the potatoes leave a rough edge. You can do this using a fork or vegetable masher which we use to mash pao bhaji :)

Pop the potatoes back in the oven for 5 minutes more. 

Boiled brocolli

Boil 1 ltr water in a pot, add the chopped and washed broccoli to the boiling water after the water starts boiling, cook the broccoli for exactly 2 minutes. Strain the water add salt & pepper and serve immediately.

Serve with veggies & boiled rice.
