Ingredients

  • 2 teaspoons olive oil
  • 4 (4-6-ounce) salmon fillets
  • salt, to taste

Step 8 -Slowly add the cornstarch slurry to the pan, whisking to combine.

Step 9 -Bring the mixture to a boil and cook until just thickened, for about 1 minute.

Step 10 -Return the salmon to the pan and spoon the sauce over it.

Step 11 -Serve topped with parsley and lemon wedges.
