Ingredients

• 4 salmon fillets (about 6 oz each)

• Salt and pepper, to taste

• 2 tablespoons olive oil

• 4 cloves garlic, minced

• 1 cup heavy cream

• 1/2 cup chicken broth

• 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese

• 1 teaspoon dried thyme (or 1 tablespoon fresh thyme)

• 1 tablespoon lemon juice

• Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Directions

1. Prepare the salmon: Season the salmon fillets generously with salt and pepper.

2. Cook the salmon: Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add salmon fillets skin-side up and cook for about 4-5 minutes per side, or until cooked through and golden brown. Remove salmon from skillet and set aside.

3. Make the sauce: In the same skillet, add the minced garlic and sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant.

4. Add liquids: Pour in the heavy cream and chicken broth, stirring to combine. Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer.

5. Add flavor: Stir in Parmesan cheese, thyme, and lemon juice. Cook for another 3-4 minutes until the sauce thickens slightly. Adjust seasoning with salt and pepper as needed.

6. Combine: Return the cooked salmon to the skillet, spooning the creamy garlic sauce over the fillets. Cook for an additional minute to warm through.

7. Serve: Garnish with chopped fresh parsley and serve immediately.
