Patty Prime’s Mandatory Detour

Most recipe sites would now tell you about the first time they saw a salmon jump in an Alaskan river while their cousin played acoustic guitar.

Patty Prime is not emotionally prepared for that.

You want:
• salmon
• butter
• cream
• cheese
• a sauce thick enough to make a grown cow cry

Let’s cook before someone starts describing their childhood goldfish.

🐟 Creamy Cast-Iron Salmon Supreme

Ingredients

• Salmon fillets (about 1–2 per person)

• Butter for the pan

• 4 oz full-fat cream cheese

• 3 tbsp grated Parmesan

• ½ cup chicken stock

• ½ tsp black pepper (optional, carnivore-adjacent)

• ½ tsp garlic powder (optional but delicious)

• ½ tsp salt

Step-by-Step Instructions

1. Prep Like a Professional

• Rinse salmon and pat dry like you’re tucking it in for bed.

• Let fillets sit 15–20 minutes to reach room temp — this keeps the middle from staying shy and cold.

2. Heat the Iron Throne

• Warm a cast-iron skillet over medium-high for a few minutes.

• Add butter — it should melt and bubble immediately, not sit there questioning life choices.

3. Sear the Salmon

• Cook 1 minute per side (2 minutes if your fillets are thick and confident).

• You’re looking for opaque edges with a slightly translucent center.

  

4. Make the Sauce

• In a small pot, whisk together:
  cream cheese + Parmesan + chicken stock + seasonings

• Heat gently until silky and combined.

5. Bring It Home

• Spoon sauce over the salmon.

• Let rest 5 minutes so flavors settle and nobody burns their tongue.

  

🧠 Patty’s Salmon Wisdom

• Room temperature fish = even cooking.

• Hot pan = crispy outside, tender inside.

• Do NOT overcook. Salmon has trust issues already.

Visual Doneness Check

• Raw = translucent pink

• Perfect = opaque halfway, soft center

• Overcooked = sadness

🔁 Tasty Variations

Parmesan Power Move

Add ¼ cup extra Parmesan to the sauce for a thicker, cheesier finish. Stir often so it melts smoothly instead of forming a cheese asteroid.

Butter Boss

Swap half the cream cheese for extra butter if you’re feeling extra carnivore.

Pepper Rebel

Skip the pepper and garlic for strict carnivore — still incredible.

🥩 Why This Works for Carnivore

• High-quality protein

• Rich omega fats

• Zero grains

• Restaurant flavor without restaurant pants

Final Word from Patty Prime

If salmon could talk, it would say:
“Please don’t boil me and call it dinner.”
