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
Directions
Step 1
Pat the salmon fillets dry with paper towels. Season them on both sides with salt and pepper.
Step 2
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.
Step 3
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.
Step 4
Pour in the chicken broth and stir to deglaze the pan, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom.
Step 5
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.
Step 6
Return the salmon fillets to the skillet, spoon the sauce over them, and cook for another 2 minutes until the salmon is heated through.
Step 7
Sprinkle the fresh parsley over the salmon and sauce just before serving.
Step 8
Serve the salmon with cream sauce immediately, with additional lemon wedges if desired.
