Salmon in a Creamy Garlic Sauce

Priscilla's Salmon in a Creamy Garlic Sauce

I love fish, but my husband isn't a big fan of salmon. This dish though even ranked high on his list of favorite dishes. I served this with a small 1/2 serving of brown rice, next to steamed broccoli, and my air fryer asparagus & peppers!

Yield:  5

Ingredients:

5 salmon filets

1 tbsp extra virgin olive oil

2 tbsp unsalted butter

2 tsp minced garlic

1/2 cup chicken broth

1 cup heavy cream

1/2 cup shredded parmesan

1/4 tsp salt

1/4 Lawry's season salt

1/4 tsp ground black pepper

2 tbsp fresh parsley, chopped and divided

Instructions:

1.  Season both sides of each filet with both the salts and pepper. 

2.  In a skillet over medium heat, add olive oil and cook the salmon until golden brown, about 3 - 4 minutes per side depending on the thickness. Add the butter to the skillet, spooning it over the filets. Remove the salmon and set aside on a plate with a foil tent to keep warm.

3.  Saute the garlic for 30 seconds until fragrant. Reduce heat to medium-low and add the chicken broth and heavy cream while stirring.

4.  Add the parmesan cheese and stir to melt the cheese into the sauce. Add 1 tbsp parsley. Simmer for about 3 minutes until the sauce thickens.

5.  Add the salmon back into the skillet and top with the remaining 1 tbsp parsley. Spoon the sauce over the salmon then serve! When serving, spoon a little more sauce over the salmon on the plate.

Notes:

I like to spoon some sauce over my broccoli when served along with this dish. Kids will love that too!
