BAKED SALMON IN GARLIC BUTTER CREAM SAUCE

heavy cream

🥗Healthier: Greek yogurt

💰Cheaper: milk + cornstarch

Greek yogurt reduces calories while maintaining creaminess

Preheat the oven to 400°F.

Rinse and pat dry 4 skinless salmon fillets.

Chop 1 small red onion and 6 cloves of garlic.

In a bowl, mix together 1 tablespoon Old Bay seasoning, 1 teaspoon garlic powder, 1 teaspoon onion powder, 1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika, 1 teaspoon salt, and 1 teaspoon white pepper.

Sprinkle the seasoning mixture over the salmon fillets and massage it in to ensure they are well coated.

Melt 1/2 stick of butter and pour it over the seasoned salmon fillets in a baking dish.

Place the salmon in the oven and bake for 20 minutes.

In a saucepan, melt the remaining 1/2 stick of butter over medium heat.

Add the chopped red onion to the melted butter and sauté until softened.

Add the chopped garlic and sauté until fragrant.

Pour in 1 cup of white wine and let it reduce for about 4 minutes.

Stir in 1 cup of heavy cream and the slurry made from 1 tablespoon corn starch mixed with 1/2 cup milk.

Simmer the sauce for about 4 minutes, stirring occasionally, until it thickens.

Add salt and white pepper to taste, and stir in 1 tablespoon of lemon juice and some chopped fresh parsley.

Once the salmon is done baking, spoon the cream sauce over the salmon fillets in the baking dish and garnish with more parsley.
