Lemon & Garlic Cream Sauce
I made fabulous and very special dish on Cookidoo the other night ‘Salmon en croute’. I felt it needed a creamy sharp sauce and after a bit of tweaking, this is what I came up with and its perfect!.
When a sauce is this good, it deserves a permanent spot in your recipe collection! This Lemon & Garlic Cream Sauce is one of those magical recipes – it’s incredibly simple, yet full of rich, tangy, comforting flavour that elevates just about anything you pour it over. It is especially good with Salmon.
