Make sure the heavy cream is at room temperature to prevent curdling when added to the skillet.
Can I use salmon fillets instead of steaks?
Yes, but you won’t be able to roll them into circles. You can still bake them and pour the sauce on top.
What can I use instead of red caviar?
You can substitute with black caviar or even finely chopped fresh herbs for garnish.
Can I make the sauce ahead of time?
Yes, you can prepare the sauce ahead and reheat it gently before serving.
How do I know when the salmon is cooked?
The salmon is cooked when it flakes easily with a fork and turns opaque throughout.
Can I use dried thyme instead of fresh?
Yes, but use less dried thyme as it’s more concentrated in flavor.
