Notes
You want to lower the heat and simmer the sauce gently to prevent the cream from curdling. This keeps the sauce smooth.
Let the salmon rest for a few minutes after searing to keep it juicy when added back to the sauce
Salmon continues ooking slightly after removing it from the skillet, so avoid overcooking it.
The sauce thickens slightly after refrigeration but loosens again when reheated gently. You mayw ant to add a splash of cream though, to loosen it up.
