Lemon Rosemary Salmon
Lemon Rosemary Salmon features salmon fillets pan-cooked and finished in a lemony rosemary wine sauce thickened with cornstarch. The method seals in moisture for tender fish, while the bright citrus, honey, and fragrant rosemary balance richness. The sauce coats the salmon, adding flavor without overwhelming the delicate fish.
