Step 1
Prepare the salmon fillets and season them generously on both sides with salt and black pepper.
Step 2
In a large pan, add 1 tbsp of olive oil and 1 tbsp of unsalted butter over medium-high heat. Allow the butter to melt.
Step 3
Place the seasoned salmon fillets in the pan and fry them for about 4 minutes on the first side until crispy and caramelized.
Step 4
While the salmon is frying, finely chop 2 cloves of garlic.
Step 5
Turn the salmon fillets over and fry for another 2 minutes, then transfer them to a plate and set aside.
Ingredients List
Important Notes
Cooking the garlic and tomatoes in the same pan used to sear the salmon helps capture all the savory caramelized pan drippings.
Do not overcook the salmon during the initial sear, as it will continue cooking when returned to the cream sauce.
Toasting the rice in butter before adding water adds a delicious nutty flavor and keeps the grains separate.
