Ingredients
- 1 salmon fillet (about 7oz)
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ¼ teaspoon black pepper
Sauce
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 1 clove garlic, minced
- ½ cup chicken broth
- ⅓ cup heavy cream
- ¼ cup Parmesan cheese, grated
- ¼ cup sun dried tomatoes
- ½ teaspoon lemon zest
- ¼ teaspoon thyme
- ¼ teaspoon oregano
- 1 pinch red chili flakes optional
Instructions
- Pat the salmon fillets dry with paper towels, then season both sides with Italian seasoning, salt and black pepper.
- In a medium skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. Once the oil is shimmering, add the salmon fillet, skin-side down (if using skin-on fillets). Cook for 3-4 minutes on each side until golden brown and just cooked through. Remove the salmon from the pan and set aside.
- In the same pan, add the butter and garlic. Saute the garlic for 1 minute.
- Add the chicken broth, heavy cream and Parmesan cheese. Stir and cook for 2 minutes.
- Add the sun dried tomatoes, seasoning and lemon zest, stirring to combine. Let the sauce simmer for 3-4 minutes, until it starts to thicken slightly.
- Adjust the seasoning and add the red chili flakes if using.
- Nestle the seared salmon fillet back into the sauce, spooning some of the sauce over the top of each fillet. Reduce the heat to low and let the salmon simmer in the sauce for 3-4 minutes, ensuring it’s heated through and absorbing the flavors.
- Remove the pan from the heat and garnish with fresh basil.
- Serve the Marry Me Salmon with a side of roasted vegetables, cauliflower rice, or a green salad to complement the richness of the dish.
