Ingredients

• 4 salmon filets, skinless
• 2 tablespoons olive oil, divided
• 2 teaspoons dried Italian seasoning
• ½ teaspoon Kosher salt
• ¼ teaspoon cracked black pepper

Sauce

• 3 tablespoons butter
• 2 teaspoon garlic, minced
• 3 tablespoons flour
• 1 1/2 cups chicken broth
• ¾ cup heavy cream
• 1/2 cup parmesan, grated
• 1/2 cup sun-dried tomatoes, drained
• 1 teaspoon dried Italian seasoning
• 1 teaspoon lemon zest
• fresh basil, for garnish

Instructions

Salmon

• Brush olive oil on top each salmon filet using a basting brush. Season with Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper.

• Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.

• Add the salmon filets to the skillet and cook until golden brown and crispy, about 3 minutes on each side. Lower the heat and allow the salmon to cook through to the center. Remove the filets from the skillet and set them aside.

Sauce

• Return to the same skillet, and add the butter. Melt the butter over medium-high heat then sauté the garlic for 30 seconds until fragrant. Add in the flour and stir to make a paste.

• Whisk in the chicken broth, heavy cream, and parmesan cheese.

• Stir in the drained sun-dried tomatoes, Italian seasoning, and lemon zest. Season with more salt and pepper if needed.

• Simmer the sauce for a few minutes for it to thicken.

• Return the salmon filets back to the skillet and layer on top of the sauce.

• Turn the heat to medium-low, and continue to simmer for 10 minutes.

• Garnish with freshly chopped basil leaves and additional lemon zest if desired.

• Serve warm over pasta or rice.
