Baked Salmon with Creamy Leeks

Fresh garlic is poached in cream, giving the leeks an even sweeter flavor.

Ingredients:

  • 2 medium leeks
  • 8 garlic cloves, peeled
  • 1/2 cup (125 ml) heavy whipping cream
  • 2 tbsp plus 1 tsp (30 ml plus 5 ml) dijon mustard, divided
  • 1/2 cup (125 ml) panko bread crumbs
  • 2 tbsp (30 ml) finely chopped fresh parsley
  • 1 tbsp (15 ml) butter, melted
  • 4 skinless salmon fillets (4-6 oz each)
  • 3/4 tsp (4 ml) salt, divided
  • 1/2 tsp (2 ml) coarsely ground black pepper, divided
  • 1 tbsp (15 ml) olive oil
  • 1/4 cup (60 ml) chicken broth

Directions:

  1. Preheat oven to 450°F (230°C) . Cut leeks in half lengthwise; slice into 1/4-in. (6 mm) pieces. Place into medium Bamboo Fiber Bowl and swish in cold water to remove dirt. Drain leeks in large Stainless Mesh Colander and place in Salad & Berry Spinner; spin dry and set aside. Slice garlic lengthwise into quarters. Place garlic and cream in a small saucepan. Simmer over low heat 7-8 minutes or until garlic is tender. Stir in 1 tsp (5 mL) of the mustard; remove saucepan from heat.
  2. Meanwhile, line Large Sheet Pan with foil. Combine bread crumbs, parsley and butter in Small Batter Bowl; mix well. Season fillets with 1/4 tsp (1 mL) of the salt and 1/4 tsp (1 mL) of the pepper. Brush remaining mustard over fillets; top generously with bread crumb mixture. Bake 12-14 minutes or until fish flakes easily with a fork.
  3. Add oil and leeks to (10-in./24 cm) Skillet; cook over medium heat 2-4 minutes or until softened, stirring frequently. Add broth and 1/4 tsp (1 mL) of the salt; cook 3-4 minutes or until most of the liquid is evaporated. Add cream mixture and remaining salt and pepper; simmer 5-6 minutes or until cream is thickened. Serve salmon with leeks.
