Main Ingredients
Champagne Cream Sauce
Method
Preparing the Salmon
Seasoning the Salmon
Pat the salmon fillets dry with paper towels. Season both sides with salt and black pepper.
Cooking the Salmon
In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the salmon fillets, skin-side down, and cook for about 4-5 minutes on each side, or until cooked through and golden brown. Remove the salmon from the skillet and set aside.
Making the Champagne Cream Sauce
Deglazing with Champagne
Pour in the champagne and bring to a simmer. Let it reduce by half, about 3-4 minutes.
Adding Cream and Seasoning
Stir in the heavy cream, lemon juice, and chopped chives. Cook for another 2-3 minutes until the sauce thickens slightly. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
Serving
Plating the Dish
Place the cooked salmon on plates and spoon the champagne cream sauce over the top. Garnish with extra chives if desired.
