Notes
Storage: Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. Reheat gently in a skillet with a splash of water or cream to revive the sauce. Make-Ahead: The salmon can be seasoned and stored in the fridge up to a day ahead; cook just before serving. For a lighter version, substitute the heavy cream with Greek yogurt or a dairy-free alternative. Serve with a side of warm pita bread or a simple green salad for a complete meal. Variations: Add a handful of spinach to the sauce for extra greens, or use chickpeas for added protein and fiber.
