Ingredients

  • Salmon Bites
  • 1 lb salmon fillet skin removed and cut into bite-sized pieces
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

  • For the Salmon Bites
  • Prepare the Salmon: Pat the salmon pieces dry with a paper towel. Season with salt, pepper, paprika, and garlic powder.
  • Cook the Salmon: Heat olive oil in a skillet or frying pan over medium-high heat. Add the salmon bites in a single layer and cook for about 2-3 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and cooked through. Remove from the pan and set aside.

  • Add the Cream: Pour in the heavy cream and bring to a simmer. Reduce the heat to low and stir in the grated Parmesan cheese until the sauce is smooth and creamy. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
  • Combine and Serve: Pour the creamy garlic sauce over the cooked salmon bites and gently toss to coat. Garnish with fresh parsley if desired.
