Pan Seared Salmon With Tarragon Cream - cooking recipe

Ingredients

4 salmon fillets
salt and pepper
2 tablespoons vegetable oil
2 shallots, finely chopped
4 tablespoons fresh tarragon, chopped
6 ounces whipping cream
3 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
lemon wedge, to serve

Preparation

Preheat oven to 350\u00b0F.
Season salmon on both sides with salt and pepper.
Heat oil in a frying pan until fairly hot.
Add salmon flesh side down, and fry quickly for about 3 minutes until lightly browned. Turn over and fry skin side for 2 minutes.
Transfer to an ovenproof dish just big enough to take the salmon in a single layer and sprinkle over the shallot and the tarragon. Spoon over cream and salt and pepper to taste.
Cook in the oven for 12-15 minutes, until the salmon is cooked.
Sprinkle with parsley. Transfer to warm plates and garnish with lemon wedges.
