→ Creamy Sauce Ingredients
10 -
1 cup of chicken stock (unsalted)
11 -
1/2 cup heavy whipping cream
12 -
1/3 cup sun-dried tomatoes, chopped finely
13 -
5 garlic cloves, fresh and minced
14 -
1/2 cup parmesan cheese, freshly grated
15 -
A few fresh basil leaves for topping
# Instructions:
01 -
In a small dish, stir together the onion powder, garlic powder, thyme, basil, red pepper flakes, salt, and black pepper until they're evenly blended.
02 -
Take half of the spice mixture and coat the salmon thoroughly on both sides.
03 -
Grab a large pan, heat it over medium-high, and add the olive oil. Put the fish, flesh side down, into the hot oil. Sear for about 5 minutes per side until golden. Once done, take the salmon out of the pan and set aside.
04 -
Lower the heat and toss in the minced garlic and sun-dried tomatoes. If you've got some of that tomato oil, splash a bit in for extra flavor. Cook until the garlic smells amazing, roughly 1-2 minutes.
05 -
Pour in your chicken stock and scrape up the tasty browned bits stuck to the pan. Add in the cream, parmesan, and the rest of the spices. Stir so everything mixes well.
06 -
Turn the heat up slightly and allow the sauce to bubble gently for 10-15 minutes to thicken it up. You can taste it now and add more salt or pepper if needed.
07 -
Place the salmon back into the sauce, spooning the sauce on top. Let it cook for another 3 minutes for medium or 5 for fully done. Garnish with basil leaves before serving.
