Ingredients
  

  • 4 salmon filets
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil

  • 1/4 cup fresh parsley
  • 1/4 cup fresh basil

Method
 

  1. Season salmon with olive oil, salt, and pepper and let rest 10 minutes.
  2. Sear salmon 3–4 minutes per side until golden, then remove and set aside.
  3. Add butter to the skillet and sauté garlic until fragrant.
  4. Stir in heavy cream, chicken broth, lemon juice, cream cheese, and parmesan until smooth.
