Method
- Season the salmon fillets with salt and pepper. Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat and sear salmon for 3-4 minutes per side until cooked. Set aside to cool, then flake into chunks.
- Boil gnocchi in salted water according to package instructions until they float. Drain, reserving 1/4 cup of the pasta water.
- In the same skillet over medium heat, melt the butter and sauté the minced garlic for 1 minute until fragrant.
- Pour in the white wine to deglaze the pan, scraping up browned bits. Simmer for 2 minutes to reduce.
- Lower heat to medium-low, stir in the heavy cream and simmer for 3-4 minutes until slightly thickened. Stir in Parmesan cheese until smooth.
- Add the cooked gnocchi to the cream sauce, tossing to coat. Add reserved pasta water if needed to reach desired consistency.
- Gently fold in the flaked salmon, fresh dill, and lemon juice. Heat through for 1 minute.
- Serve immediately in shallow bowls, garnished with extra dill and Parmesan.
Notes
Use high-quality heavy cream (double cream) to prevent the sauce from curdling when mixed with the lemon juice and wine.
