Ingredients:

• 4 salmon fillets (skin-on or skinless)
  
  

• 2 tablespoons olive oil
  
  

• 1/2 cup sun-dried tomatoes, chopped
  
  

• 3 cloves garlic, minced
  
  

• 1/2 cup heavy cream
  
  

• 1/4 cup chicken broth
  
  

• 1/2 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes (optional)
  
  

• 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  
  

• Salt and pepper, to taste
  
  

• 1 tablespoon fresh basil, chopped (for garnish)
  
  

Directions:

1. Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Season salmon fillets with salt and pepper on both sides.
   
   

2. Add the salmon fillets to the skillet, skin-side down (if using skin-on), and cook for 4-5 minutes per side until golden and cooked through. Remove the salmon from the skillet and set aside.
   
   

3. In the same skillet, add chopped sun-dried tomatoes and minced garlic. Cook for 1-2 minutes until fragrant.
   
   

4. Stir in heavy cream, chicken broth, and red pepper flakes (if using). Bring to a simmer and cook for 3-4 minutes until the sauce thickens slightly.
   
   

5. Add lemon juice and stir to combine.
   
   

6. Return the salmon to the skillet and spoon the sauce over the fillets.
   
   

7. Cook for another 2-3 minutes to heat the salmon through.
   
   

8. Garnish with fresh basil and serve immediately.
