Salmon with Basil Cream Sauce

List of Ingredients




2 pounds salmon fillets
1 1/2 tablespoons margarine
3 shallots, peeled and minced
1 clove garlic -- minced
1 1/2 cups fresh basil, chopped
1/4 cup fresh parsley, chopped
3/4 cup dry white wine
1/3 cup half and half
1 tablespoon lemon juice
1/4 teaspoon white pepper
1/4 teaspoon salt






Recipe



Cut the salmon into 6 equal serving pieces. Wash and pat the salmon dry on paper towels.

Melt the margarine in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Sear the salmon for about 3 minutes per side. Remove the fish from the pan and keep warm. Reduce the heat to low and sauté the shallots and garlic, stirring frequently, for 5 minutes.

Add the basil, parsley, wine, half and half, lemon juice, pepper and salt to the skillet and cook over medium heat, stirring frequently, until the mixture is reduced by half. Add more salt and pepper if needed.

Add the salmon fillets back to the skillet with the sauce and heat for a few minutes until the salmon is done. (Be careful not to overcook the salmon).
