Health benefits of Salmon with Tarragon Dill Cream Sauce

Salmon is an excellent source of omega-3 fatty acids, which are crucial for reducing inflammation and promoting cardiovascular health. It is also rich in vitamin D, which helps regulate insulin levels and improve mood, both of which are important for managing PCOS symptoms. Additionally, salmon provides a good amount of B vitamins, particularly B12, which supports energy production and helps maintain healthy nerve function. Including salmon in your diet can help balance hormones, reduce inflammation, and support overall well-being.

Ingredients

Salmon Filets
1 1/2 lb. Salmon Filet
3/4-1 tsp. Dried Tarragon
3/4-1 tsp. Dried Dill Weed
1 tbsp. Duck Fat
Salt and Pepper to Taste

Cream Sauce
2 tbsp. Butter
1/4 cup Heavy Cream
1/2 tsp. Dried Tarragon
1/2 tsp. Dried Dill Weed
Salt and Pepper to Taste

Instructions

1. Slice the salmon in half to create 2 1/4 lb. filets. Season meat of fish with tarragon, dill weed, and salt and pepper. Turn around and season skin with salt and pepper only.
2. Heat 1 tbsp. duck fat in a ceramic cast iron skillet over medium heat (or any pan that will hold heat well). Once hot, add salmon skin side down.
3. Allow salmon to cook for 4-6 minutes while skin crisps up. Once the skin is crisp, reduce to low heat and flip salmon.
4. Cook salmon until done-ness you want is achieved. Generally about 7-15 minutes over low heat. Optional: If desired, cook on sides for 20-40 seconds to get darker edges.
5. Remove salmon from the pan and set aside. Add butter and spices to the pan and let brown. Once browned, add cream mix together.
6. Serve with broccoli or asparagus (or your favorite side dish) and be generous with cream sauce. Garnish with a small amount of red pepper flakes.
