Sautéed Salmon with butter sauce

I am trying to eat more Salmon as it is a wonderful protein for CKD stage 4. Since my functioning dropped rather significantly in the last few months I am eating as many ”good for my kidney’s” foods that I can - and that includes now more salmon.

I went to the store today at noon an found two nice center cut filets.

Here is my favorite recipe for easy delicious salmon.

Ingredients:

2-4 center cuts of salmon - skin removed

1 lemon - juiced

2 TBL butter

4 oz dry white wine

1 large shallot - chopped thin

1 small bunch of fresh parsley - chopped

salt & fresh cracked pepper

Optional - 1/2 cup heavy cream

Directions:

In a large skillet heat the butter on medium high until melted.

Add salt & fresh cracked pepper to each side of the salmon and lay into the butter and sauté until a nice golden color begins to form on the bottom then turn the filet over and cook for another 3 minutes.

After 3 minutes add the white wine and reduce one minute. Then add the lemon juice and chopped shallots and allow it to cook for 2 minutes. If using heavy cream - add then reduce the sauce until you achieve the thickness you like. Quick Tip - if using heavy cream gently shake the pan a little which will help to thicken.

Quick Tip - you can decorate your salmon with slices of fresh lemon if serving for guests.

Finish with chopped parsley - then serve.

ENJOY!
