Pan Fried Salmon With Creamy Leek Butter Sauce

Hello,

There was a time when the price of fresh salmon in the market quite a bit cheaper than the usual price because salmon is typically much more expensive especially here. Talk about fresh salmon, my favourite way of preparing salmon fillet are either baked, pan fried or grilled.

Creamy leek butter sauce go really well with salmon, that's our personal preference. This buttery leek sauce is sure became our favourite because it tastes really good with grilled or pan fried salmon.
