Air Fryer Salmon | Blackened Salmon Recipe | Chef Zee Cooks

heavy cream

🥗Healthier: Greek yogurt

💰Cheaper: milk + cornstarch

Greek yogurt reduces calories while maintaining creaminess

Pat salmon fillets dry with paper towels and season generously with cajun seasoning.

Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering.

Add salmon fillets skin-side down and cook for 4-5 minutes until blackened and cooked halfway through.

Carefully flip the salmon and cook for an additional 3-4 minutes until cooked through and flaky.

Remove salmon from skillet and set aside, tenting with foil to keep warm.

In the same skillet, reduce heat to medium and add butter, allowing it to melt.

Add minced garlic and shallots, sautéing until fragrant and translucent, about 2-3 minutes.

Pour in white wine and scrape up any browned bits from the skillet, simmering for 2-3 minutes.

Stir in lemon juice and heavy cream, cooking until the sauce thickens slightly, about 3-4 minutes.

Season the sauce with salt and black pepper to taste.

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

Garnish with chopped parsley before serving.
