Full Recipe:

Ingredients:

For the Salmon:

• 4 salmon fillets (6 oz each)

• Salt and pepper, to taste

• 1 tablespoon olive oil

• 1 teaspoon garlic powder

For the Garlic Butter Sauce:

• 3 tablespoons unsalted butter

• 4 cloves garlic, minced

• ½ cup chicken broth

• ½ cup heavy cream

• ¼ cup grated Parmesan cheese

• 1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped

• Juice of ½ lemon

Directions:

1. Prepare the Salmon: Pat the salmon fillets dry with paper towels. Season both sides with salt, pepper, and garlic powder.

2. Sear the Salmon: Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the salmon fillets, skin-side down. Cook for 4-5 minutes on each side until golden brown and cooked through. Remove the salmon from the skillet and set aside.

3. Make the Garlic Butter Sauce: In the same skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté for 1 minute until fragrant.

4. Add Liquids: Pour in the chicken broth, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the skillet. Stir in the heavy cream and bring to a simmer.

5. Finish the Sauce: Reduce the heat to low and stir in the Parmesan cheese until the sauce thickens. Add the lemon juice and chopped parsley.

6. Combine and Serve: Return the salmon fillets to the skillet, spooning the sauce over the top. Let them simmer in the sauce for 2-3 minutes to heat through. Serve immediately, garnished with additional parsley if desired.
