We love salmon in my house, but tend to cook it in the same handful of ways all of the time. So we decided to try something new. K wanted a sauce, and found a good recipe on epicurious.com for a lemon cream sauce.
We grilled the salmon with just salt and pepper, and made the sauce on the side. I also boiled some green beans for our nightly veg. We smothered those beans in the sauce too! To make the sauce, I sauted some chopped onion in butter (the recipe called for shallots, but I didn't have any on hand). Next, I added about a cup of heavy cream and the zest from a whole lemon. I cooked it for 10 minutes, then added a couple of Tbsp of lemon juice and removed the pot from the heat. It stood for a little while so that we could eat our salads, and thickened a bit in that time.
It was soooo good. I will make this and variations on it a lot in the future!
