Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces salmon fillets, skinless
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper, freshly ground
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 3 pieces garlic cloves, minced
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice, freshly squeezed
- 0.5 cup chicken broth, low-sodium
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
- 1 teaspoon lemon zest
Instructions
Pat the salmon fillets dry with paper towels. Season them on both sides with salt and pepper.
In a large non-stick skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. When the oil is hot, add the salmon fillets and cook for 3-4 minutes on each side, or until golden and cooked through. Remove from the skillet and set aside.
In the same skillet, reduce the heat to medium and add the butter. Once the butter has melted, add the minced garlic and sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant.
Pour in the chicken broth and stir to deglaze the pan, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom.
Stir in the heavy cream, followed by the lemon juice and lemon zest. Let the sauce simmer for about 3-4 minutes until slightly thickened.
Return the salmon fillets to the skillet, spoon the sauce over them, and cook for another 2 minutes until the salmon is heated through.
Sprinkle the fresh parsley over the salmon and sauce just before serving.
Serve the salmon with cream sauce immediately, with additional lemon wedges if desired.
