Step 1

Drizzle 4 salmon filets, skin removed, with olive oil generously. Then sprinkle on evenly across all the seasonings listed above.

Step 2

Then get a pan nice and hot over medium-high heat. Add a drizzle of olive oil to the pan and add the filets. Sear on one side for 3 to 4 minutes until golden brown, then flip over and cook the other side for another 3 to 4 minutes until cooked through.

Step 3

Then remove the salmon filets and set them aside for now. We will add it back to the pan once the sauce is done!

Step 4

Once you remove the salmon from the pan, add the butter and garlic over medium heat. Saute the garlic for a minute until fragrant and then add the heavy cream, chicken broth, lemon juice, cream cheese, parmesan, salt, and black pepper. Bring to a simmer and whisk together until smooth and everything is incorporated. Finally, add in the fresh parsley and basil and give it a quick stir. Taste and adjust anything to your liking.

Step 5

Now just add back the salmon filets into the sauce and pour some on the top as well and it’s ready to serve and enjoy!

Step 10

Heat an oiled skillet or pan over medium-high heat.

Step 11

Add the salmon filets to the pan and cook on each side until golden brown and crispy, about 3 minutes on each side. Then drop the heat to low and allow the salmon to cook through to the center. Remove the filets from the pan.

Step 12

In the same saucepan over medium heat, add the butter and the garlic. If you'd like to add onions, feel free to do so at this step. Saute for a minute or two.

Step 13

Add the heavy cream, chicken broth, and lemon juice. Whisk together and bring to a simmer for 2 to 3 minutes.

Step 14

Add the cream cheese and parmesan and whisk again until the sauce thickens. Once it thickens, add salt and black pepper to taste.

Step 15

Mix in the basil and parsley.

Add the salmon back into the pan with the sauce. Let the salmon sit in the sauce for a minute or two to reheat in the sauce again before taking off the heat and enjoying!
