Recipe Preparation
  • 4 lbs whole salmon fillet
  • 1/2 cup softened butter
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 1/2 white onion, finely chopped
  • 5 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1/2 lbs spinach leaves
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 1 tbsp fresh basil leaves, chopped
  • 1 lime, thinly sliced
  • 1/2 cup water
  • Salt and black pepper, to taste
Step Description
1
Prep the Salmon: Pat the surface of the salmon dry with paper towels and remove the skin.
2
Slice, Flatten & Season: Cut the salmon into one large piece with even thickness and lay it flat. Season the surface with salt and black pepper. Spread a layer of softened butter evenly across the salmon.
3
Roll, Tie & Cut: Roll the salmon tightly from one end and tie it securely with kitchen twine at equal intervals. Cut the salmon roll between each piece of twine to form individual portions.
4
Sear the Salmon: Heat a skillet over medium heat with a small amount of olive oil. Sear the salmon pieces on both sides until set and lightly golden. Remove and set aside.
5
Make the Sauce Base: In a clean skillet, heat a little olive oil. Add the minced garlic and chopped onion. Sauté until fragrant. Add spinach and cook until wilted. Season with salt and black pepper. Then add 1/2 cup water and 1 cup heavy cream. Stir in lime slices and return the seared salmon to the pan. Cover the skillet with a lid and simmer for 5–10 minutes.
