Instructions
Follow these simple steps to create a delicious Creamy Garlic Butter Salmon:
1. Prepare the Salmon: Pat the salmon fillets dry with paper towels. Season both sides with salt and pepper.
2. Heat the Pan: In a large skillet, melt 2 tablespoons of butter over medium heat.
3. Cook the Salmon: Add the salmon fillets skin-side down. Cook for 5-6 minutes, until the skin is crispy. Flip and cook for another 3-4 minutes, or until the salmon is cooked through. Remove the salmon from the skillet and set aside.
4. Make the Sauce: In the same skillet, add the remaining 2 tablespoons of butter. Once melted, add the minced garlic and sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant.
5. Add the Cream: Pour in the heavy cream and stir to combine. Add the Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper. Bring the sauce to a gentle simmer, stirring occasionally.
6. Combine: Return the cooked salmon to the skillet, spooning the sauce over each fillet. Allow it to simmer for an additional 2-3 minutes to heat through.
7. Garnish: Remove from heat and sprinkle with fresh parsley before serving.
8. Serve: Plate the salmon with a generous drizzle of sauce and a lemon wedge on the side.
