Equipment

  • Skillet
  • saucepan

Ingredients
  

SEARED SALMON

  • 4 fillets salmon, skinless
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 2 teaspoons Italian seasoning
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • ½ teaspoon oregano
  • ½ teaspoon black pepper
  • ½ teaspoon red pepper flakes

CREAM SAUCE

  • 3 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • ½ tablespoon minced garlic
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • ½ cup chicken broth
  • 1 teaspoon lemon juice
  • 2 tablespoons cream cheese, softened
  • ½ to ¾ cup grated parmesan to taste
  • salt to taste
  • black pepper to taste
  • 1 tablespoon fresh parsley, finely chopped
  • 2 tablespoons fresh basil, chopped

Instructions
 

COOK THE SALMON

  • To a plate, lay the salmon fillets flat. Drizzle olive oil on top and season with Italian seasoning, salt, garlic powder, oregano, black pepper, and red pepper flakes.
  • Heat an oiled skillet or pan over medium-high heat.
  • Add the salmon filets to the pan and cook on each side until golden brown and crispy, about 3 minutes on each side. Then drop the heat to low and allow the salmon to cook through to the center. Remove the filets from the pan.

MAKE THE CREAM SAUCE

  • In the same saucepan over medium heat, add the butter and the garlic. If you'd like to add onions, feel free to do so at this step. Saute for a minute or two.
