Ingredients

• 3–4 salmon fillets (skin removed)

• 2 Tbsp olive oil

• 1 tsp dried basil

• 1 tsp garlic powder

• 1 tsp onion powder

• ½ tsp dried thyme

• ¾ tsp red pepper flakes

• ¼ tsp salt

• ¼ tsp black pepper

• 1 cup unsalted chicken stock

• ½ cup heavy cream

• ⅓ cup chopped sun-dried tomatoes

• 5 garlic cloves, minced

• ½ cup freshly shredded Parmesan cheese

• Fresh basil for garnish

Directions

1. Season the Salmon
   In a small bowl, mix together basil, garlic powder, onion powder, thyme, red pepper flakes, salt, and pepper. Rub half of this seasoning onto both sides of each salmon fillet.

2. Sear the Salmon
   Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the salmon, flesh‑side down first, and sear for about 5 minutes per side until golden. Remove the fillets and set aside 

3. Make the Sauce
   In the same skillet, sauté minced garlic and sun‑dried tomatoes over low heat for 1–2 minutes. Add chicken stock to deglaze, scraping the browned bits. Stir in heavy cream, Parmesan cheese, and remaining seasoning mix. Simmer 10–15 minutes until it thickens 

4. Finish the Dish
   Return salmon to the skillet and spoon sauce over it. Simmer for 3–5 minutes (3 for medium, 5 for well done). Garnish with fresh basil before serving
