@lifewithshipsatsea: Creamy Garlic Butter Salmon Bites Ingredients 1. Skinless Salmon Fillets – 1 1/2 lbs, cut into large cubes 2. Olive Oil – 1 tbsp 3. Unsalted Butter – 3 tbsp 4. Garlic – 4 cloves, minced 5. Heavy Cream – 1 cup 6. Dijon Mustard – 1 tbsp 7. Fresh Lemon Juice – 1 tbsp 8. Smoked Paprika – 1 tsp 9. Garlic Powder – 1/2 tsp 10. Onion Powder – 1/2 tsp 11. Salt – 3/4 tsp 12. Black Pepper – 1/2 tsp 13. Grated Parmesan Cheese – 1/3 cup 14. Fresh Chives – 2 tbsp, finely chopped 15. Fresh Parsley – 1 tbsp, chopped 16. Red Pepper Flakes – 1/4 tsp (optional) Recipe 1. Pat the salmon fillets dry with paper towels to remove excess moisture. Cut them into evenly sized, generously thick cubes so they cook evenly and remain juicy. 2. In a small bowl, combine the smoked paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper. Sprinkle the seasoning mixture over the salmon cubes and gently toss to coat all sides. 3. Heat the olive oil and 1 tablespoon of butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Once the butter melts and the skillet is hot, arrange the salmon cubes in a single layer without overcrowding the pan. 4. Sear the salmon for approximately 2–3 minutes on each side, turning carefully with tongs until the outside is golden and lightly caramelized. Cook in batches if necessary. 5. Transfer the seared salmon to a clean plate. The salmon will finish cooking when returned to the sauce, so avoid overcooking it at this stage. 6. Reduce the skillet heat to medium and add the remaining 2 tablespoons of butter. Stir in the minced garlic and cook for 30–60 seconds until fragrant, taking care not to let it burn. 7. Pour the heavy cream into the skillet, scraping up the browned bits from the bottom of the pan to incorporate their flavor into the sauce. 8. Whisk in the Dijon mustard, lemon juice, and optional red pepper flakes. Allow the mixture to simmer gently for 2–3 minutes until it begins to thicken slightly. 9. Add the grated Parmesan cheese and stir continuously until it melts into the cream, creating a smooth, rich, and savory garlic butter sauce. 10. Taste the sauce and adjust the seasoning with a little additional salt or black pepper if needed. Keep the heat low to prevent the cream from boiling vigorously. 11. Return the seared salmon cubes and any accumulated juices to the skillet. Gently turn the pieces in the sauce, spooning the creamy mixture over the tops. 12. Simmer gently for another 2–4 minutes, depending on the size of the cubes, until the salmon is cooked through and reaches an internal temperature of 145°F (63°C). 13. Sprinkle the chopped chives and fresh parsley over the salmon, then spoon extra garlic butter sauce over each piece for a glossy finish. 14. Transfer the salmon bites to a warm serving platter and pour the remaining sauce around them. Serve immediately with mashed potatoes, steamed vegetables, rice, or crusty bread.
