Amazing Creamy Lemon Sauce Salmon in 30 Mins

Description

A simple and elegant recipe for salmon baked with a rich and zesty creamy lemon sauce. This dish is quick to prepare and perfect for any occasion.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1.5 lbs salmon fillets
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1/2 cup heavy cream
  • 1/4 cup chicken broth
  • 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
  • 1 tablespoon lemon zest
  • 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley
  • Salt, to taste

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
  2. Pat the salmon fillets dry with paper towels and season with salt and pepper.
  3. Heat olive oil in an oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat. Sear salmon fillets for 1-2 minutes per side until golden brown. Remove salmon from skillet and set aside.
