This recipe serves 4, but is very easily halved for a perfect date night situation. Go crazy with the spices and seasonings here! Add worcestershire sauce to the mayo and maybe some garlic powder to the salmon. Maybe try some Sriracha and soy sauce in the mayo instead, and a little cilantro and scallion to finish. Don’t like mayo? Use plain Greek yogurt – the flavor possibilities are endless here, and this recipe is meant to be a starting line …
1.5 cups (give or take) shredded russet potatoes (I use a box grater to shred them)
2 TBSP all-purpose flour
4 salmon fillets
2 TBSP mayonnaise
Salt and pepper, to taste
Olive oil, for cookingÂ
For the Simple Lemon Brown Butter Pan Sauce:
6 TBSP butter
1.5 TBSP fresh lemon juice
Salt and pepper, to taste
Â
For the Simple Lemon Brown Butter Pan Sauce:
Place the butter in a small saucepan or skillet set over medium heat; allow it to melt and then continue to cook it until it turns visibly golden brown and smells nutty; about 2 to 3 more minutes after melted. As soon as this happens, pour into a small bowl.Â
Add the lemon juice and season with salt and pepper to taste. This will stay liquid for about half an hour, but if it begins to solidify on you, simply reheat it in the microwave or in the pan on the stovetop over low heat.Â
