INGREDIENTS
1 tbsp olive oil
4 salmon filets 5-6 oz. each
Salt and pepper to taste
1 tsp garlic powder
2 tbsp unsalted butter
6 cloves garlic minced
1/2 cup chicken broth
1 1/2 cups heavy cream
1/2 cup Parmesan cheese
2 tbsp parsley freshly chopped
Juice of 1/2 a lemon
INSTRUCTIONS
Heat a large non-stick pan over medium-high heat, adding the olive oil.
Pat dry the salmon fillets, then season them with a pinch of salt, a dash of pepper, and garlic powder.
Place the salmon fillets in the pan with the skin side up. Cook for approximately 4-5 minutes on the first side. Carefully flip the salmon fillets over and continue cooking for another 4-5 minutes on the other side or until they reach your desired level of doneness. Cook until the salmon easily flakes with a fork. The exact time may vary depending on the thickness of your fillets and your desired level of doneness.
Once cooked to your liking, remove the salmon from the pan and keep warm.
In the same skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté for about 3 minutes until it becomes fragrant and lightly golden. Pour in the chicken broth and cook for approximately 4 minutes while using a spatula to scrape any browned bits from the bottom of the pan.
Reduce the heat to low and add the heavy cream. Allow the mixture to gently simmer. Season it with a pinch of salt and a dash of pepper to your taste. Stir in the Parmesan cheese and simmer for a couple of minutes until the sauce thickens slightly.
Carefully return the cooked salmon fillets to the pan, nestling them into the creamy sauce. Garnish the dish with freshly chopped parsley to add color and flavor.
Squeeze the juice of half a lemon over the salmon and sauce, infusing the dish with a refreshing citrus note.
Serve your creamy garlic salmon immediately and savor the delicious flavors.
