As soon as the salmon fillets are golden and slightly pink in the heart, transfer them to individual plates, cover with the green pepper sauce and serve (5).

Advice

Be careful to cook the salmon fillets for a few minutes : at the end they must be well browned on the outside and pink in the heart; in this way the meat will be tender , juicy and not stringy.

To make the preparation less caloric and therefore lighter, you can replace the fresh cooking cream with a vegetable cream : the taste will still remain intact.

If you want a dish with a more delicate flavor , you can substitute green peppercorns with pink or white ones.

storage

Salmon with green peppercorn sauce can be kept in an airtight container for a maximum of 1-2 days in the refrigerator.
