Ingredients

  • 2 tbsp Extra-virgin olive oil
  • 1 Small shallot, minced
  • 1 sprig Thyme
  • 1/2 tsp Cracked black pepper

  • 4 tbsp Cold unsalted butter, cut into tablespoons
  • Salt, to taste

Instructions

  1. Heat 1 tbsp olive oil over medium heat. Add the shallot and cook until softened, about 4 minutes.

  3. Remove pan from the heat and whisk in the cream. Continue whisking and add the butter in 1 tbsp at a time.
  4. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Strain into a bowl, set aside and keep warm.

  7. Transfer the salmon to plates, and pour the sauce over the fillets.
  8. Serve immediately.
