10 -
1/2 cup heavy cream
11 -
1 cup chicken broth (unsalted)
12 -
1/3 cup finely chopped sun-dried tomatoes
13 -
5 minced cloves of fresh garlic
14 -
1/2 cup parmesan cheese, freshly grated
15 -
Fresh basil, for decoration
# Instructions:
01 -
Combine the garlic powder, onion powder, dried basil, dried thyme, red pepper flakes, salt, and black pepper in a little bowl. Mix until they've blended well together.
02 -
Use half of the mixed seasoning and massage it generously onto every side of the salmon pieces.
03 -
Put a large skillet on medium-high heat and drizzle in olive oil. Place salmon (flesh-side down first) when oil’s hot and cook for around 5 minutes per side until golden. Take out and set them aside for now.
04 -
Turn the heat to low while keeping the same skillet and throw in the minced garlic and sun-dried tomatoes. Stir around for a minute or two to bring out their aroma. Feel free to add some of the oil from the tomato jar for extra taste.
05 -
Pour your chicken broth into the pan and give it a good stir to pick up any flavorful crust left on the skillet. Mix in the parmesan cheese, cream, and the seasoning blend that’s left. Keep stirring until smooth.
06 -
Turn the heat to medium-low and let the sauce sit and bubble for 10 to 15 minutes, stirring every so often, until it thickens up just how you like it. Taste and adjust with more salt and black pepper if needed.
07 -
Pop the salmon back into the skillet, scoop the sauce over each piece, and let it cook 3-5 minutes more based on your cooking preference. Toss some fresh basil on top before serving.
