directions
- Put oil in a large, heavy skillet. Salt and pepper salmon fillets generously. Place in hot oil and cook for 5 minutes on each side or until done. For the sauce: Melt 4 Tblsp. butter in a heavy skillet. Stir in 3 Tblsp. flour until you have a smooth, pasty slurry. Whisk in a cup of cream and then a cup of milk (or half-and-half).
